Amazonia Under Siege: Raids in the Rainforest | The Fight for Survival | Full Documentary

#fullepisode #animals #documentary #wildlife

At the age of 27, Ana Rafaela D’Amico is the youngest national park director in Brazil. In order to save the rainforest, she has declared war on the drugs gangs, logging mafia and illegal fishing.

The Campos Amazonicos National Park is like a microcosm of all the problems found in Amazonia: illegal logging, cattle breeding, tin mines – and a drugs route that goes right through the middle of the park. Ana Rafaela has been fighting ardently to preserve the natural surroundings ever since she took over the management of the park a few years ago. She has already achieved a great deal, yet the obstacles the blond young woman from the city faces remain formidable. For Ana Rafaela nature conservation means a life without compromises, a life which sometimes requires a “cold heart”. She has to confront an invisible enemy: it is a struggle of dangers and bitterly fought successes. The small players she can catch; and has to take away their livelihood, but there is often little she can do against the big players.

And yet, Ana Rafaela’s efforts do bear fruit. Since she has been managing the park, illegal fishing has declined and no new mines have been opened. She believes in her success, and that it is possible to save Amazonia if everyone does their bit. She will not give up – this is the only way she knows.

This is absolutely atrocious, the way they have taken their tribal sovereign rights to hunt, gather, fish and manage the land their ancestors protected to this day !

Economy is temporary. Nature is everlasting.

This is a complex issue - of course nature must be protected, but the poor must also feed their families. They must be provided alternatives... It is the logging companies and the wealthy businessmen who must be stopped.

Let my uncle live freely with my auntie n kids, if not give them a permanent job or compensate them enough for their survival. It's the government illegally encroaching them. Shame on reporter n the government. Since it's their ancestral land, let them be whatever they like

As long as Anna Rafaela investigates Amazon in an old fashion ways, the problem will exist! She should work with drones to survey and surveillance camera powered by solar batteries to find the poachers ! There are other modern ways but no time to explain here!😁

The Amazon jungle is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, located in South America, primarily in Brazil but also extending into Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. It is known for its incredible biodiversity, with millions of species of plants, animals, and insects inhabiting the region.
