The Amazon in danger - Indigenous peoples and their struggle for the rainforest | DW Documentary

- Опубліковано 9 бер 2022
- "They used to kill us with guns, now they kill us with deforestation and dams." The Brazilian government's failure to protect the Amazon forest is forcing the Munduruku indigenous people to take action against land grabs and illegal logging - and try to save the rain forest on their own.
In an unprecedented movement led by Chief Juarez Saw Munduruku, for the last six years indigenous people have been fighting the theft and destruction of their forest home.
Since 1970, 20% of the Brazilian Amazon has been deforested. Logging and forest fires are threatening a further 20%. Scientists say that at 40% deforestation, we will reach the point of no return. The forest will be lost forever, replaced by savannahs - and the environmental consequences will be catastrophic. The Amazon is often known as ‘the lungs of the planet,’ producing 6% of the world’s oxygen. It is no secret that the rainforest has been losing a dramatic fight against an array of threats, encouraged by capitalism, consumerism and greed - both legal and illegal.
In today‘s Brazil, some 600,000 square kilometers of land - an area about the size of France -- are farmed by farmers who don’t officially own it. The military dictatorship (1964-1985) encouraged them to settle on state-owned land, but the farmers never became legal owners. As a result, speculators now seize the areas, clear the forests, then resell the plots with forged title deeds. This land grab, known as "grilagem" in Portuguese, has led to uncontrolled forest clearing and fierce conflicts.
The documentary was shot from 2014 to 2020, under three different Brazilian governments. It provides deep insights into the drama of the illegal occupation of state land and forest areas by organized crime groups. Several indigenous peoples have united under Juarez Saw Munduruku, leader of the Munduruku people, in a last-ditch bid to save the planet’s most important forest.

This is the sad story of the world, the rich are getting richer on the backs of indigenous people and the land they safeguard. In most cases governments are directly or indirectly complecent.
and we from the west buy there product including u my-friend so wat more can one say n yes it is super-sad. #Period.
Not complacent, COMPLICIT. It's an absolute tragedy, one future generations will pay a horrible price for.
#CapitalismIsTheCrisis
@@jonathantremaria8579 So you finally understand the Jair Bolsonaro is evil He may be happy to encourage deforestation but I certainly am not
Look what has happened in the United States over 400 years. The indigenous people are a very small majority now. Immigrants have ruined, deforested, and built so many concrete buildings that this country can't cool down anymore. The Amazon is like one of the lungs to this world. The more this continues the less it looks like survival for man
This documentary has an incredibly beautiful cinematography, it portrays the country and the Amerindian culture without looking down on them through the lens of exoticism.
The Amazon in danger - Indigenous peoples and their struggle for the rainforest | DW Documentary 1750pm 10.3.22 thumbs down for the facts of the matter but probably worth highlighting the obvious... p.s on a more insane point - who was it who said that german holiday firms were sending people out to hunt the animals and peoples of the rain forest? how factual is that statement?
Then what?
You sir are missing the whole point typical of of people who have never had to struggle for the merest essential in life water to drink how bout food you think about that while ur narrow mind was working of course not listen Lucas I don’t know how old you are nor do I care but what I do care about is all the damage men have done to this beautiful paradise that the creator has placed these people I’m indigenous yes and I have seen struggles for water rights for land it seems that those that have in this world only want what doesn’t belong to them let someone go in your home Lucas and becuase your shoes ur car is pretty !! They take it without you letting them how would you feel EXACTLY you have felt for one MAD and two violated you see when all these nations stop looking at these places the rainforest as a means to their Greed and when they have killed off every plant animal life what’s next the people and then people will not sit back and say oh what a beautiful place. Guess what it was a beautiful place but the people made that paradise a hell hole man is greedy and vengeful they do things with malice I picture the creator sitting up there and saying I tried to teach them to be humble happy for what they have but it didn’t work cuase we always want what doesn’t belong to us and if they won’t give it to them. They take it by force I’ll tell you right now they could care less who looks down on them you know why cuase they have been a people that have learned to be content in whatever state they may be in even though they don’t have much it’s us that can never find that peace of mind
@@WinterShadow131 I’m half American Indian. When the white man came to America, the Indians were helpful to them. They taught them how to hunt and fish. How to grow food. In return the white man stole all their land. When the American Indians realized what they were doing, they started fighting back but they lost. Hundreds of Thousands of American Indians were murdered, many women and children were taken as slaves to the white man. Now, American Indians have a very small part of land that this government decided to (Give) them! Everything was theirs but they were kind and decided to be helpful and share. It’s a horrible injustice. This same thing has happened in many other countries too. It’s a Shame and it’s very very wrong. They are destroying our planet 🌎. If there really is a God, I’m sure that he sees it all. I just don’t understand why he puts up with it. Take good care of you and I hope that you are able to fight for and keep your land and your rivers. Lots of Love and Respect for you and your people!♥️
It’s painful to watch the oppression of these indigenous peoples by these corrupt land grabbers.
Dw has beaten any kind of documentary over the world and it has gone beyond our expectations.
How wonderful documentary!!
The Amazon in danger - Indigenous peoples and their struggle for the rainforest | DW Documentary 1803pm 10.3.22 well, if your government is against you trynna fend off land grab and realty mismanagement then... how should i know what's to be done? though the term: coercive control seems to have struck a chord. as that term can be applied to anything from aggressive advertisement campaigns to how governmental institutions function, to the dealings of businesses, to the use and abuse of peoples... aguirre: the wrath of god would be a fine summation of this.
They don't only fight for themselves, they fight for us all and the animal kingdom
Absolute facts 💯
we forget we are also part of animal kingdom!
Congratulations on this beautiful documentary! Let’s do our best to support these people and the Amazon forest. 🙏🏼
The earth doesn't need us; it will survive without us, but we cannot survive without it.
This is only a tip of an iceberg. Imagine you being cut into pieces like these living trees. DW has definitely done it's part of bringing these corporate criminals to light. Thanks DW for your excellent work.
DW hasn't done anything. You are very naïve if you think this, or any documentary, is going to change mans greed. We will continue to exploit the earth until there is nothing left to exploit. Grow up little child.
@@shroudedgrove4679 you are 💯 percent right
@@sachinrv1 Marry me.
E VOCÊ NÃO ES CRIMINOSO TAMBÉM? CADÊ AS FLORESTAS DE TEU PAÍS?
*Kudos to the entire DW team* 🙏🏽
*Variety of daily content, presentation, choice of topic, detailed study and most importantly the consistency* 🙌🏽
Wow, it's impressive the quality of these documentaries, as always the best resource in youtube
These are my people too 😢 it's happening everywhere. Our treasures diminishing because lack of care from those who don't respect our rules to preserve life!
We should be turning to indigenous people everywhere to learn something about how to care for the earth, how to live in harmony with nature. Indigenous people in…the Pacific NW, for this example…have traditions that keep wildfire danger lower, but greedy industries have practices that maximize profits at the expense of the world, that make wildfires more dangerous and destructive.
I think people also like to think of themselves as the lords and masters of the earth, that they can go anywhere, conquer nature, and exploit it for profit. Everyone needs to understand that we must change our ways drastically before we end up dooming young folks and the future generations.
Do you personally know people in that part of the world? We are trying to get funding and equipment to them for preservation of the Forest and their lands.

It's fucking crazy how the natives of the forest are the ones fighting to protect the forest. They said it themselves "if the forest is destroyed so will our people" but they dont realize that it would be the disappear ALL people in the world..
Man will try to eat his paper money when all the trees are cut down, all the rivers dry up and all the animals are gone. But he will realize you can't eat money
Wow, I planned to state the same and you beat me to it. Anyway, the way I see it is:
Humans have had LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO CHANGE AND NEVER DO.
Powerful documentary. Brazilian people’s struggles are the struggles of the entire world!
Its just the first minutes and im already ready for a great documentary. Please release it in the DW Brasil
i really feel these people. we need lear more of these people and appreciate the forest more
The erbs and leaves, roots trees are all medication. People is crazy. They do not know nothing. Money should lose power.
Rainforests so valuable with medicinal wisdom so muche to learn from the rainforests Instead to let destroy this by bad greedy people 😭love to live with the indigenous people one with mother nature 💚
Thank you for this beautiful documentary. Save our Amazon and its animals, forrest, and indigenous people. ❤️
Extremely informative and great filmography. Thanks for sharing! 👌
its also extremely luddite.
Anyone who dares to chop down the Amazon should be considered as a terrorist ..
we need to protect the forest.
Do we?! Yeh?? Oh OK!! Thanks for letting us know! You just saved the world!
@@hevelynp What? I can't understand what you are saying. Learn some grammar, then get back to me.
@@hevelynp Nope - You just failed again. You need to study grammar, so that I may better understand what you are trying to say.
And yes, of course I am better than you are at speaking, and writing in English. Not least because I AM English.
Best regards.

Listen Hevelgynaus, or whatever your name is, I do not care about what you think, regarding your grip on the English language. You grammar is poor. Ok? I am currently not sure what else I can say that will help you get that into your thick head.
At this point all you are doing is arguing with me. But you have lost the argument, because I am right, and you are wrong. Stop carrying on with me please - I am honestly not interested anymore. I can speak 4 languages fluently by the way, and have no interest in teaching.
Hope this helps.
After all Brazil is still beautiful. God bless those people.
Unfortunately not for much longer. Go see it while it lasts
@@kcjean9883 Really, tell me where you live and will talk. Man nicknamed KC JEAN assures that my country will not last long? FY man. Unfortunately will be here for long long time, wanna know why? Soy, meat, corn, fruit, water and lots more comes from where you don't know eventually. Like French president you have no idea what Braz(s)il is and yes, tell me where you live
Nothing pisses me off more than this, but if I'm honest, I think we all know this priceless beautiful forest is going the way of the dodo so long as people exist.

Forests like these only represent stagnation
and therefore must be replaced with something new.
@@alisha8099 strange thing to say about one of the most diverse and productive spots of life in the solar system. With that in mind I guess you best off yourself, so we can all see what new things grow from you 🙄
Thanks again DW Documentary for this very informative video... I'm really glad that i did subscribe to DW Documentary.
Lmao
greed is ruining the planet
The Germans are at the top of the documentary game.
Protect our world our animals our people..
No.
Nos você eu ?
Temos muitos problemas de preservação, estamos nas mãos de pessoas inescrupulosas e de interesses econômicos, mas nossa soberania é inquestionável. A amazônia é do Brasil e ponto final!
Sim! O olho grande vem de todos os lados mas a Amazônia é nossa! Esses Fazendeiros illegals precisam ser punidos. Esses mega projetos deveriam ser cancelados. Qual o atual situação da FUNAI?
Actually you're wrong. Sao Paolo, rio de Janeiro and others belong to Brazil. The Amazon forest that is inhabited by native people's own those areas. They never signed up to be a part of Brazil.
@@Speedster189 cê nem sabe o que tá falando piá, não tem só índigenas no norte não, tem muita cidade grande e gente guerreira e trabalhadora que vive e cuida desse brasilsão.
É cada bocó que aparece nesses comentários.
Temos que explorar nossas riquezas os outros mundo acabaram com suas florestas e agora quer coloca o bico
@@Speedster189 Mano... Eu sou do norte, e aqui não tem só indígenas!
Ridículos, vocês devem viver em países que destruíram suas florestas.
Esses índios não é dono da Amazônia o Brasil é nosso esse índio são uns preguiçoso se quiser viver vai ter que aprender viver como nos trabalhando porque vamos explorar nossas riqueza sm
We should all be free to live in this world. This system isn’t a good one and we can all feel it in our soul.
God Bless us all.❤
Living in harmony with nature is the most fulfilling way a human can go through life. Embracing the fact that we are not a being that stands superior to all other forms of life, but rather just another part of the complex world of nature. For too long humankind has placed itself high above all other species, and it is that "god-given right" to use the world that will be our downfall. As they said in the doc, nature can thrive without us, but we cannot thrive without it.
Hopefully humans will realize the important relationship between life and the universe, before our own demise happens from our greed and blindness to what it means to be alive.
Nothing should last forever!
Forests like these only represent stagnation
and therefore must be replaced with something new.
This really highlights the greed and avarice of some people. This was a pristine paradise and look what they have done.
Excellent documentary! Great work !
This documentary is fresh air for the soul #life
Beautiful people and amazing culture 🔥
Thank you so much!
It would be interesting if DM was worried about the forests Europe deforested to become what it is today and also the non-clean energy sources now Europe won't get gas from Russia anymore.
Yep
Fun fact 40% of EU is covered by forests.
@P I R A T A That is also a fun fact, although one that I was aware of. However, neither me nor the OP said anything about Brazilian forests, we are talking about EU forests. Nevertheless, thanks for the contribution.
Oh my God. The logging is sickening. What a cancer. Wish you all the best as I don't want to see the Amazon disappear

I remember studying this in college reading reports and that was 2015. Still the damn is the hugest part
Thank you! I learned so much watching this documentary. Truly developed my awareness. Kudos to the courage and heart of the indigenous Monduruku people.

We all are children of earth. What we are doing to her will cause severe repercussions, possibly even our demise. No amount of money nor status will keep people safe when mother nature is no longer here to help us.
The earth has no gender. Stop crying, Michael Jackson, nobody cares about the earth - we only care about ourselves and how comfortable our lives are. How long are you going to live like an ignoramus?
Is there also without the english translation? I'd love to share with Brazilian Family & friends
I’m not sure if it will work, but maybe you can try emailing the people that made this documentary
No there are not, your bolsonarist parents and family members will remain biased and saying that "indians" are lazy.
Hits hard.

Unfortunate for these beautiful people.
Respect there Country
The world is in danger
Another environmental enlightening video, shared by excellent (DW) about a legal Organization efforts for Protecting Amazon Forests from annihilation in addition of its indigenes peoples habitat also its protector of Season Rains , Huge amount of O2 & Absorption of CO2 by Trees it has Great existence in protecting ecosystems balances & Reducing Climate Change ...Good done By IBAAMA Organization ,Good Journal & Documentary Coverage
It all starts in the name of progress, till greed takes over.
Dam the Amazon? There really is no saving this world....
Today (12th, august 2023) the countries next to amazon hold a meeting to take decision to stop the ongoing deforestration. "World will be better than today" we hope
It’s become real serious over there now. It’s not too late yet, but we really need to act fast on it. And I don’t think we can wait until October to put a stop to it.
Ok David Attenborough.
What do you think should be done? Disrespecting another country's sovereignty and taking its land from it? I don't think that would work, especially because there will still be greed no matter who owns the forest. Every single nation in the world is greedy. The only thing that would change is who is destroying the forest. Btw, some of this destruction is no one's fault because it's natural due to the seasonal wildfires.
@@jt1903 I’m not saying we should disrespect another country’s sovereignty and take it’s land from it. I’m saying that we have to reduce our emissions drastically and stop deforestation in the Amazon right now. And it wasn’t seasonal wildfires. It was those miners and loggers. They were the ones that set fire to the Amazon. They have been causing destruction to the Amazon in the name of greed, making it harder for the Amazon to fully recover.
Also, is it possible to have rainwater tanks situated in parts of the Amazon? Like to help give it a boost to recovery?
Tem muitas ongs na Amazônia que praticam biopirataria e desmatamento devíamos fazer uma campanha pra investigar elas um por uma e ver de onde vem o dinheiro .
6:26 I always find it amazing and funny how we call peaceful tribal people like that less civilized or educated and they are jacked like that because their life depends on the exercise they get by living it and know so much about the plants and animals and how to survive and are healthier than anyone in the developed world etc. LOOK at how in shape he is lol Same with some African tribes who still have their resources that haven't been plundered and depleted by the "first world". Get outta here with that. They are more intelligent knowledgeable and healthier and happier without and THAN us than we could ever imagine.
Brazilians are the mixed people racially in the World. No wonder, they are positive and love life.
How do they not burn down the forest when they burn down the tractors??
History will look back at us and see how we let greed destroy this planet. I feel bad that future generations will have to deal with the repercussions of said greed.
✨🌎 Excellent Environmentalist Amazon Tribal Culture Reporting 📡
Is there really nothing we can do :/
i don't trust the officials, corruption is insane there
Their Doing the same in South Africa privatizing the sacred & Natural places...
I wish they would have asked, "What happens when there is no more trees to cut down?"
You people are breaking all barriers. May the force of God be with you 🙏. Modern capitalism has to be reformed immediately
These people are at such a disadvantage.
All in the name of human greed
s0cialism or barbarism!
Mashallah
Hello again folks.
DW are you able to get us in contact with these people? We are trying to get funding equipment and other resources to them for fighting for preservation of their lands and people.
I hate humans sometimes we are so greedy.
The land belongs to The Creator,, everybody should have some land which is used only in proper and natural ways. this man knows that and there is a false law with this. the piece of paper is what man created to be greedy.... Bless to these beautiful indigenous peopls'
Disgusting how this world revolves around money!!!
Money, lies/ green washing, delusions, toxic positivity. Hardly know why anyone wants to reproduce, humanity is going down down. May be too late for the human race, not just global industrial society here soon (just an inevitability, unsustainable practices & economies don't last forever)
Solution: Worldwide boycott of food from Brazil! Boycott to beef, grains, and other crops from deforestation areas!
drop tree seeds on the open areas and have road blocks
That's the way the cookies crumble
Experts only look at tree cutting for crops and cattle....
Ignoring all the tree cutting due to making charcoal to sell locally or here in USA at latino markets as natural charcoal...
So when the last tree is cut down , what then ? Such insanity and madness !
Nobody cares. We won't be around.
Não adianta falar que o Brasil é o culpado seus invejosos vocês não querem O BEM DA AMAZONIA VOCÊS SÓ QUEREM OS BENS E AZAR SE ENTRAREM AQUI SE VERÃO COM NOSSOS SOLDADOS DE SELVA E NOSSOS IRMÃOS INDÍGENAS ESTÃO JUNTOS PARA DEFENDER A NAÇÃO E OS PAISES DA REGIÃO

@@DWDocumentary quanto eles pagaram pros meios comunicativos jornais jornalistas pra denegrir a imagem do brasil e demonizar o governo brasileiro?
How on earth does the Brazilian Government doesn't know the importance of the Amazon? (or they know but pretends not to) We're already suffering so much, the consequence of this action will slowly present itself and the damage will be irreversible because nature is not a product of man it's alive (obviously can't be manipulated to go back as how it is whenever we feel like it)
Money, you laggard.
Who said the government doesn’t know the importance? Illegal occupation by land grabbers, corruption and greedy makes the forest police work difficult as the area is too large to control.
They know but they don't care
Não é so o governo brasileiro envolvido nisso

I don't understand the concept of landowning?
Why isn't it state property and one family can lease it only.
Problem cleared.
I praise the indigenous people protecting their land. Just like what Ukraine is going thru. World is changing, and not for the best either. :(

One of the most dangerous places on Earth 🌍!
Not even the most dangerous place on Brazil. Ever heard of Rio de Janeiro?
@@alvaroludolf As a Brazilian, myself, I'd say this forest is pretty dangerous. On the other hand, when it comes to an urban area, Rio is like a warzone.

Tragedy, tragedy, tragedy, I can't think of anything else to say! Do we really need to destroy everything for humans to live? I know there is another better way!
Capitalists are the ones destroying the earth. It's time to end the evil system they benefit from.
Modern man could have evolved while still having a relationship with the natural world we are dependent on. Learning from indigenous people who have always known the delicate balance. Unfortunately men are guided by greed and have no respect for nature but will gradually pay a hefty price.
I wonder when the world will change for good or better
Blame to the govt..... Greedy govt n politicians.... Corporates greed will lead to world's trouble..... Few greed suffers human race
This is all related to the history of the colonization of the country. When Brazil was colonized by Portugal, land was passed down from one generation to another, after this system "died" a law was created allowing everyone, WITH MONEY , to buy land but the thing was ... only the european descendants were the ones with money at that time, so the indigenous people and black people had no way to afford their own land, this lead to them either leaving that area or going to "cortiços", cheap buildings, which later would be destroyed by the government and because of that people started building houses in irregular places, that's how the favelas happened but I'm not gonna get into that here.
So if you think about it , the old system didn't die because that law was created and everything is connected to our past, there was no support to indigenous people or black people who had just gained their freedom when that law was created. The ones with money would buy a lot of lands and still be passing it down to their sons and the cycle would go on, this caused a huge land concentration problem here. You have a small percentage of people with lots of land while the rest of the country has nothing which is why a lot of people protest for a adjustments in the distribution of land here.
There are laws here in Brazil that says that lands that are not being used can be occupied by small farmers or people for living but ofc is not that simple. People who try to do that are killed, threaten and deceived just like many indigenous people are and guess by who ? OFC by the land owners, which also happen to be politicians because they invest in agrobusiness and cattle which is where the money is at in Brazil , so with that money they enter in politics because is not enough for them to steal land 🤡 they need to steal our money too.
So this is why it seems like the government doesn't care about what's happening in the amazon forest, because they don't, they are destroying it for their companies, for their own business, own interests and same happens with politics here. If you look up the Elite families of Brazil , they are all connected to the old European families who would own slaves and big farms that I mentioned, nothing changed these people don't wanna lose their privileges.
So the amazon is being destroyed by big companies, cattle business, agro business. Most of the meat that is being produced is not even for us to eat, is to export for people from first world countries to consume, the soy that is invading the amazon land is not for the people who are starving in the country, is for the cattle to eat to get fat and produce better quality meat and the cycle goes on.
There's so much more I can't talk about here because it would be too long and this is just the tip of the iceberg , there are also other indigenous ethnicities in Brazil who are not from the amazon and are losing their lands in other regions of the country, the media doesn't show anything and those who try to talk are murdered. We do care. We do protest and many people are going vegan for this reason. Is important to say that we don't support the current president actions. The ones who support that clown are dumb old conservative religious people, the middle class who think they are rich and the elite who uses the president as their face for their own interests and to manipulate the previous ones i mentioned.
Dw ❤️
