I will be back in 15 minutes with more of your headlines. To the f france 24 interview. A haunting portrait of crisis in the amazon rain forest. That is one of the descriptions of a striking series of images taken by a photojournalist during his sixmonth journey across the amazon. The recipient of the 2019 photojournalism awawa, it is aa pleasure to have him here with us. Thank you for inviting me. Tell us about the photos. Complex story you are hoping to tell. Youve said it is not necessarily a simple narrative. Yes. I try to devevelop a portrait. Documents likes the Environmental Crisis in the amazon, but also the entire crisis taking part place in the region. Crises intersectingg combining together. To tell about the destruction of the issssue related thet, b but also explore social fabric of the region. You say they overlap. I wanted to look at one particular photo. One of the most remarkable. It is a member of the forest guard in a moment of sad silence at the side of a toppled tree in down by suspected logger an indigenous reserve. Could you tell us how you came to take this photo . I starteded following this , from a indndigenous tribe in the state. Theygroup of indigenous, are patrolling, looking for illegal loggers. Trying to protect their territory. They have started organizing this patrolling inside the reserve. Eventually they end up funding illegal finding illegal loggers. They try to stop them in an activist way. Protect their land . Yeah, to protect their land. That picture i took during one of the patrolling. Place, illegal logger set up camp. When we are live we arrived at their there were big trees cut down. Warriorsnly one of the because they call themselvess the guardians of the forest. E came close to the tree this gentleman here . Yeah, this gentleman here. He came close to the tree and he remained in that position for a while. I just recorded the moment. I put in the caption that it was a moment of sad silence. He was a bit moved by that. He explained to me, like, this picture has a specific feeling wayalso tells us about a the deforestation. Because explained to me that a lot of loggers, they are not just cutting down trees together. Just the big ones, then they moved to another one. The oldest ones, the ones that have taken tens or hundreds of years old . But also because in this way they avoid to be catch by the satellite. One area they are cutting is difficult for the satellite. A tree like that on its own being cut down . I understand. Another one of your photos, just staying with the forest guard. She was a member of the forest guard i think im same group m manting an indigenous they suspect collaborating with the loggers. His viviolence, . Thehe amazon is a really violent place. Ould say in this picture i pretrade this moment that is complex. It tells us about different indigenous fighting together. Group,side we have this their goal is to protect their lands. There is something more complex that deals with poverty and bad conditions of living. All of the people in the amazon, this is the paradox. It is a Rich National treasure. At the same time, it is really for poor. In this case they told me that indigenoushe other passenger and new he was collaborating with this group of illegal loggers inside the reserves. Actuallyly, we were e doing a patrolling and when we would pass by, when he passed by he was with his motorbike. Screaming at the loggers, calling them with bad names. That was the moment when the brawl started. Him and when we came out from the reserve the day after, received some shootings. Some people shoot against us. But we did not know from where. Probably what the guard told me tot, probably this man went retaliation . This is really sad thing. They do is really dangerous. Newou described it as the far west. That is a telling way of describing it. I wanted to touch on the fact that your photos were first revealed at the precise moment flames were engulfing the amazon, making global headlines. While you were on the ground earlier, worth their red flags and warnings that this would be a particularly bad year for forest destruction . Government came spread you know, he had this strong message to give about the amazon. That the amazon is eventually open to business. Message, on my point of view, has legitimized a lot of people. Who are acting illegally inside the forest. Giving them a green light . Regarding the fires, every year in that period of time experts and scientists are saying that the levels of deforestation, have increased. Of predictable, in a certain way. Basically it is really emblematic of how everything started. It started on the 10th of january, going to the 10th of august in a specific day when many farmers from the state connected together. The day of thet fire. This site put together fire in that day. Fireshat day, all ofof the it was not sporadic . It was an n organized effort of buyers . Pucks it w was organized. Hisng your address address to the united nations, he said the amazon remains pristine and untouched and claims brazil is one of the countries that protects its environment the most. What do you feel when you hear words like that . Firstan of alall, it is a hue place. It is really difficult to control. Manyis happened this year, combat the, to station, were recorded by the government. , the Government Cut 30 or 20 im not sure about these. Perceive theou can absence of the state, the lack of control. Is a huge ways it treasure, but left open. Is the amazon just a tale of tragedy . Is there a flipsidide . An item ofon is also colonialization in a certain way. This government is taking back an old philosophy that came back from the dictatorship from the 60s when it was considered a risk for the country. These regimes, dictatorships, they have an incentive to colonize it. Is this complex social fabric the amazon has. My first idea was to create a i wanted tore explore in depth the social fabric. And you can find thousands of stories of early intereresting people, stories of resistance. Investigated what is the religion . Inside thengelicals part of the forest that are i wanted to show it. The daily life of the people. People are hanging out, you know . Thank you for being with us. Your photos are being presented here in paris u until mimidfebruary.
