I just returned from an 18 day trip to Ecuador. It was my first time in South America and I loved it. I visited the clay licks at Yasuni National Park in the Amazon. When I got there I watched an extremely poisonous Fer-de-lance Snake capture and eat a Cobalt-winged Parakeet. It took 2.5 hours after the Snake had slowly swallowed the bird and departed for the Parrots to come in. It was so impressive to be so close in particular to the beautiful Scarlet Macaws. Seeing Parrots in the wild just reinforces how vital it is to help protect them from the illegal parrot trade.

Save The Amazon / Salve A Amazónia by Daniel Arrhakis (2019)
Fires have always been a threat to the Amazon, but the number of fire outbreaks in 2019 is one of the largest in recent years. The number of forest fires is higher in areas of the Amazon most affected by deforestation practices. That’s how the agribusiness clears land to make way for cattle and soya farms.
Home to many Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities, the world's largest rainforest is vital for keeping our climate stable. But with industrial exploitation and forest fires ravaging the region, the Amazon is facing unprecedented threats by a greedy industry backed by Bolsonaro’s government.
Protecting forests is crucial to solving the climate crisis. That’s exactly what Indigenous and local communities are doing. Losing the Amazon means losing their homes, precious habitats, and the fight against climate change.
(Text from Greenpeace International 2019)

Los humanos estamos en esta tierra de paso, si nos extinguimos otras especies, se adaptarán al nuevo ambiente. Nosotros somos relativamente nuevos en edad para la vida en la tierra y algunos se creen dueños de ella, cuando en realidad somos parte, una parte que se ha propagado y destruido casi como un virus, a los elementos que le ofrecen la vida.
Los árboles centenarios, como esta Ceiba, nos recuerdan el paso del tiempo y nuestra debilidad al querer dominar la naturaleza, en vez de convivir con ella.
Environmental activists gathered outside Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group offices in New York City on September 1, 2020 to protest the company's participation in the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, as part of a week of action against climate change. Activists dove into the privately owned public fountain in front of MUFG Bank's New York headquarters with inflatable trees on "fire" and an 18 foot banner that read "MUFG Stop Burning Rainforest", to expose their bankrolling of climate change.

The Paiter indigenous people live in the Brazilian state of Rondônia, located in the southern Amazon. I’ve known of Rondônia for a long time because it’s infamous for its deforestation. In the late 1960s, the then military dictatorship in Brazil pushed a road several hundred kilometers through the pristine forest of Rondônia and encouraged peasants from southern Brazil to go there to obtain free land. The military dictatorship’s goal was not to help the peasants but rather to use them as the blunt tool to open up the Amazon to development — an objective that to this day is of strategic importance to the generals. The military dictatorship’s publicity campaign for Rondônia in those days was “a land without people for people without land”.
Of course indigenous people, including the Paiter, already occupied the land. But the military did not trust their allegiance to Brazil because they did not speak Portuguese, so they were not granted any rights or respect. The first contact the Paiter had with modern Brazilian society did not happen until 1969 when the road was upon them. It was a cataclysmic event. Thousands of migrants arrived and started to deforest the land to grow cattle. Introduced diseases and violence killed most Paiter within a few years. From many thousands, only 250 survived. This is my portrait Maganogan Surui of the Paiter Indigenous group in Brazil. She is 76 years old, which means that the first 23 years of her life were before the Paiter’s contact with Brazilian society. She is one of the 250 who survived the catastrophe of 1969. Her life before contact is a state of existence that is really impossible for me to fathom. All her cultural reference points would have been completely different to mine — her worldview, spirituality, diet, lifestyle, cultural norms, aspirations, etc. #indigenous #amazonrainforest #amazonrainforestemergency #facetattoo #blackandawhitephotography #monochromeportrait #savetheamazon #indigenouspeople #portraitphotography

Greenpeace activists at the COP 17 in Durban, dressed as trees, call on President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff to Save the Amazon, Stop the chainsaws.
A bill proposing a complete overhaul of the current Forest Code in Brazil, first issued in 1934, was approved by the lower House of Congress last May. Despite additional changes to the text by Senators, the bill approved by the Senate this month still includes damaging allowances that will open the Amazon up once again for rampant deforestation. The text has been sent back to the Chamber for a final vote - to be completed in the coming days - and then it will go to Dilma for presidential signature before final approval. The changes in the forest code will open the Amazon up for dangerous deforestation. If confirmed by Dilma, the new law will also compromise the international agreements Lula signed during the Climate Conference in Copenhagen, in December of 2009, committing Brazil to ambitious CO2 emissions reduction targets.
1,408,899 people from more than 100 countries have signed a petition at Avaaz.org calling on President Dilma to make Brazil an international leader on the environment by taking immediate action to save Brazil's precious forests.Their voices joined a march of thousands of Brazilians in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Saturday, August 20, 2011. 13:00h.
Marching at Avenida Paulista, citizens from all corners of the planet stood in solidarity with Brazilians and urgently called on the President to save the Amazon for all of us.

Greenpeace campaigners in London joined forces with a samba band outside the Brazilian Embassy to save the Amazon rainforest. They hoisted a banner saying Save the Amazon and the band played for the embassy staff. The activists were part of a worldwide effort which saw similar activities take place around the world, including Paris, Rome, Berlin, Mexico City and Washington DC. These global activities are aimed to remind Brazils President Dilma Rousseff that almost 80 per cent of Brazilians want the Amazon protected.
