Shui from the Washer Shara Tribe is defending the amazon rain forest the traditional homeland of his people he and his warriors are fighting against Illegal Logging in Northeastern Brazil at the audi borja indigenous reserve its a perilous undertaking more than sixty warriors from his tribe alone have been
killed in recent years and sure he has also received Death Threats but hes not giving up he and his for the washer shara feel they cannot rely on government protection. No matter what the outcome of brazils president ial elections they need to help themselves. She we and his warriors are on patrol a chief has informed them that loggers have gained access to his forest by bribing members of the indigenous population this makes sure his mission even more dangerous he cant let the corrupt tribe members know that hes on to them the clearing is up ahead well go along here to get their walk with us they call themselves the guardians of the forest and defend the quassia our peoples reserve and maren ya brazil should we and his group leave their weapons with the rest of
the troop so they wont stand out while theyre getting the lay of the land. Oh youre. The lets go have all the work. Theyre going on ahead to scout things out and look for clues of Illegal Logging. That is. Hidden in a thicket they discover one a prized tree thats been felled hard. It is see them out there and they cut down the tree and have but sometimes dont even take them away because theyve found Something Better quarries a lot either but i know thats very hurtful to us warriors its sad to see would lying around like this. Tropical hardwoods from the amazon are in demand in brazil and around the globe but only logs of the right size. On the stab me and give us this one here will make lots of boards more lots. At each one is
costly jewels so the things of ours theyre selling are extremely valuable theyre the engine noise and then they find someones cut a swath through the forest illegally. Clear this is the modern transport route. The truck has been here already for look at the destruction theyve caused it leaves. The tallest and strongest trees are gone along with the parrots and numerous other species who call the forest home. So this is here is the lawyers unit of measure whose mother it is a. Foot on mars is two units on it. I think you can use this to build a house of a little for Furniture Doors and gates of the ball. My six year logs cant be longer than this otherwise they wont fit into the truss of the
communal bloggers use bribes or intimidation to secure the help of the indigenous population it is the to me those bodies and she is very or they terrorize our tribesmen and offer them Little Things like a knack of salt or to do so when there are such rubbish the doesnt even come close to paying for the wood that they take from us. Accurately. Then in the distance they hear the roar of a chainsaw if chewy and his men are going to confront the lawyers they need to find a reinforcements fast or risk paying with their lives it was a group within their armed. But if we just show up the way we are now theyll simply kill us all. Protecting the reserve is really the job of the brazilian state but officials usually only get involved after the Indigenous People have taken Action Attempts to press charges often go nowhere and state aid is
a Long Time Coming so should we and his men defend the forest as best they can. Get over the head i want to force to return to the way it was before and thats possible we just have to watch over it and drive out these invaders and. All around the extent of the destruction is clearly evident the trees have made way for grazing land. Around three quarters of the amazon rain forest in the state of modern yall has already been destroyed only within protected areas like the are out a boy a reserve just dense forest to remain but even here more land has been deforested than in almost any of the other indigenous territories and that has increased the already high risk of forest fires around five and a half thousand members of the crash our tribe live in are a boy like should we and his family most live in modest circumstances from
a bit of social assistance surely receives no compensation for his work as a guardian of the forest though this takes up most of his time. One bill for all of his colleagues when we set off to check out an area we dont retire in the same day. We spend more than fifteen days in the woods but as you think. They do everything on foot as they lack cars or motorbikes the government has cut off the technical and Financial Support at once provided the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and Environmental Protection arent a political priority in brazil so should we documents the operations he and his men carry out using his cell phone. Its got a we have branded these guys one is a member of a neighboring tribe ones a fellow xara. We were tired of hearing the bands of the chainsaw here in the area youre destroying our home mr. Trees are our life our so
we dont invade your territory yet you will see. We tied them up because we dont trust them in the book it is they come prepared to say if we let them go they might have a weapon have been way somewhere and. Thats why we tied them up. Always. As soon as we did surge this entire area it will let them go but. I dont see this. Setting a truck on fire is common practice here even the Brazilian Environment Agency resorts to setting vehicles ablaze in the fight against Illegal Logging. Still its a risky traffic asian. With all of the trucks like this dont come cheap. You know so when we set one on fire we inflame the
owners anger at us even more. Now we cant even set foot on their territory. No longer say if you show up well kill you if you. See we is preparing for a meeting of the tribes members illegal deforestation and the lawyers threats have become major issues more than sixty quassia showers have been murdered in recent years mainly because they like sure we went up against the longer. Tribal members have come from all parts of the reserve. Even on the way to the meeting she we uses the opportunity to convince newcomers not to accept bribes from the longer. I want each and every one of you to protect our land. That way. The issue is thirty and heads
a group of fifteen warriors hes the coordinator of one of the reserves eight regions at their annual general meeting hes one of sixty guardians of the forest here to decide on a common strategy they have over Four Thousand square metres of land to watch over it can hardly be done without technical equipment and support from the police. One of she worries most experienced Warriors Josie speaks for most everyone here when he says. I cant confront a guy who is armed to the teeth bare chested and without a weapon. The police have to come along. And every coordinator shouldnt just develop his own plan. There must be unity. With they also want the police to patrol on foot not just in their cars so they can go deeper into the woods. I want these invaders to
be hunted down and not just on the roads sticking to routes that are accessible by vehicle just wont work. Well for the washer shara the annual meeting is the most important event of the year representatives from the reserve talk with reps from n. G. O. S and the brazilian authorities about pressing issues like investing in education infrastructure and Fire Prevention and above all protecting their territory. You know where people of fighters were warriors my fight is for our territory together we can also influence policy our fight is for unity. There chant is meant to unite the voices of brazils Indigenous Community these Nine Hundred Thousand people have no political lobby in brazil in this months
elections. China became the first indigenous woman to be elected to congress but if there are to affect any change many more indigenous politicians must follow her lead. The cautious shara are pinning their hopes on their young people. She was man blog. Off the road so the question can celebrate the next generation of warriors with a traditional festival. Thank you. To them. Its not easy for us to protect our culture. But i think its a struggle to preserve our rhythm and way of life like this and im wiser but were
still young and its up to us to safeguard our customers more and more our lives in my area that affords. Shewing needs reinforcements most of all from the Younger Generation because the fight to preserve the land of their forefathers will also determine the question of his future. Ahead of the.
