You have a very calming voice. It really contrasts with the dark topic you have chosen to make a video on.

Great video, vital topic. Additional admiration for your calm presentation, which is so much more effective than rage or hysteria, but so dastardly difficult to achieve when impassioned. Thanks for sharing your hard work.

The new Brazilian president is making me angry.



I wish getting angry actually did something...

Great video. I think that one of the best things that people can do to help conserve the Amazon is to act in solidarity with indigenous peoples, whose cultures, philosophies and innovations successfully enabled them to live in harmony with their ecosystems for generations. I don't have the exact statistics for the Amazon in particular, but indigenous people protect 80% of the World's biodiversity globally!

I just discovered your channel after watching the vaquita video, in this video you briefly mentioned the potential environmental effects of gold mining, it would be interesting if you were to create a video about the environmental effects of mining gold in different areas.

is the rain forest still burning?
it is tragic that people seemed to have stopped talking about this serious situation, it is important we fix this ecosystem as much as we can

How the deforestation of Amazon is affecting agriculture? What will happen to the agriculture of South and North America if Amazon is 30%, 50% and completely deforested? Please do a full episode on these possibilities.

Can you kindly look into and discuss Walter Jehne's ideas of regenerative agriculture? Hope or hype?

The planet is unstable with extreme weather everywhere and it all comes to the activities of man. I have to ask, are we gone over the tipping edge and how long will it be for the planet to recover. It will but without us.
