Hello and welcome to the france 24 interview. A haunting porker it portrait of crisis in the amazon rain oars. Descriptions the taken by a photojournalist during his sixmonth journey across the brazilian amazon. The recipipient of a photojournalism award, it is a pleasure to have you and the studios. Welcome. Thank you for inviting me. Photos, thebout the complex story you are helping to tell. Because you have said, its not necessarily a sin narrative. A simple narrative. Do a portrait. Documents the Environmental Crisis in the amazon, but also the social crisis taking place in the region. Its a combination of intersecting crisises combining. And the idea was to tell about the destruction of the forests, and to issues related discuss the social fabric of the region. I wanted to look at one particular photo, one of the most remarkable. Its our member of the forest garden, whats described as a moment of sad silence at the top of a toppled tree shut down by anpected bunkers in indidigenous preserve. Cacan you tell us about t the phototos . I i started follolowing this. P of indigenous its one of the most depressed states in the amazon, in the northeast. Indigenous, they are looking for legal ways to and theyheir territory have been stopping illegal work in thetry to reacting. To protect their land. To protect their land. I took this picture in the new place, where illegal loggers set up a camp. Arrived, there were a few big trees cut down. They call themselveses the guardians of the forest, and he came close to the tree. This gentleman here. Yes, this gentleman here. He came close to the tree and remained close to net position. This is a moment of sad silence, because he was moved. This picturethat and theycific feeling, explain that a lot of loggers not just cuttiti down together, they spot the big ones and move to another one. The oldest ones, which have taken tens or hundreds of years to grow. They are this way, less likely to be caught. I understand. And another one of your photos, staying with the forest guard, she was a member of the forest guard from the same group, leading another indigenous man who they suspect of eating who they eatingg another indigenous man they suspect theyngg another digest man suspect of collaborating with loggers. Is this common . The amazon is a dangerous place, like the wild west. In this tribe is for trade at this moment which is really complex, which tells us about different people fighting together. On the one side we have this group and their goal is to protect their land. And on the others there is something more complex that deals with poverty and those conditions of living. This is the paradox, a really rich natural treasure, but at the same time its really poor. Case, they told me they knew that he was collaborating with this group of illegal loggers and side of the reserve. Patrolling, and , he was withd by his motorbike. Screaming, thed loggers were calling them bad names. That was the moment when it started. Then, when wenened came out from the reserve the day after, there were some but we did not know from where. Me, probably told this man went to to retaliate. There was that retaliation. What they do is really dangerous. New wildcribed it as a west, thats a way to describe it. And these photos were first revealed in september at the precise moment that flames were engulfing the amazon in making local headlines. While you are on the ground earlier, where there warnings that this would be a particularly bad year for forest destruction . Government hasw been in charge, there was the strong message to get the amazon open to business. This kind of message has whotimized a lot of people are acting illegally in the forest. Giving them the green light. Happened in that period of time. Experts and scscientists are saying that the levels of deforestation have increased. Predictable. Emblematic, how this is a started [indiscernible] they connect together, they are andhdog group, [indiscernible] the day of the fire. It all together from that day. It was not sporadic, it wasnt organized effort. It was organized. During to the during the thatss, the president said the amazon is untouched and that Brazil Environment the most. What do you feel when you hear words like . Its a huge place and its really difficult to control. ,nd what happened this year came fromrces , andferent places [indiscernible] cut more than 30 . On the ground, you perceive the absence of the state, and the lack of control. Huge treasure, but left open, and thrown away. Is the amazon just a trait a tale of tragedy . Is there a flipside . Ofits also a product colonization in a certain way. In a certain way, this thernment is taking back philosophy that came back from ,he dictatorships from the 60s when the was considered a risk for the country. Regimees always these that convince people to colonize it. And the results now is this complex social fabric that the amazon has. My first idea was to create a to exexplore the socicial fabric. Find stories of ,nteresting people, resistant and i investigated the religion, and the evangelical conversion i some parts of the auras, wanted to show the daily life of where people are hanging out.
