One small action could be supporting local initiatives. They really can drive change.
It's wild to think the indigenous communities are the real guardians of the forest. They know best.
But what are we really doing about it? Watching videos doesn’t stop the chainsaws.
This is a crucial time to protect this river. So Lantamago, which I'm talking about 1999, we did a laundry around all the area and motherbedeers, with so several places. And this place, it was... Prime Minister Forest, it was not so many people and I travel three and a half a day from Porto Malonago in a pick-up pick-up boat, small boat and I feel I went very deep in the forest and I thought this is a good place to show how the forest looks when it's well preserved. Around this area is the only river which has primary forest. It has uncontacted people. And it has very few communities alone. That's why it's important. Compare around the other river, it's all the forested because mining just so many agricultural activity and it's cattle lunches. So when you talk about road, but they don't know, you know, the implication in consequences the road has. It was forest all around this road but now it's the forested. And last year, the river is still in the auto. General Kiparar's HME and very special, he calls and the guys who's living and working every day on ground is a local people and we see this area dreaming for not only for next three years. We're dreaming to see all these places preserve for like all our generation and come past to other generations as well. We are now going to take this forest for us. We're going to leave for the other generation and give it to the local communities local organizations that can use this area and educate the rest of the other people around the world. More people are to be part of this project and that's why we have different programs like the forested, and environmental education, the ecosystem is being developed to be involved in the local people who are part of this project and can be leaders in the future to make our work. If we protect ourselves in the community, all of which we have now, we're going to lose time. We have the ecosystem, we have animals, we have our communities, we have our children. So we have to continue working more closely to protect ourselves in reality, this more than we do in the current. So we're working very hard on the conservation of these forests because there are many important systems for the world. Indigenous leaders are joining international experts and they've found a way to rewrite the map to empower local communities to protect ancient forest to save endangered species. Because donors, large and small, across the globe, are now connected to the cutting edge. Work happening on the ground. Jungle Keepers is now protecting almost 100,000 acres of primary forest. This is packed with biodiversity, undiscovered and some of the most climate crucial habitat on Earth. This is the front line in the fight to save endangered species to stabilize the climate and to create a brighter future for all creatures, great and small. It's a race against time, but there is still hope.
Deforestation is a huge problem. Every tree lost is one less breath for us.
