When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money.

As long as greed exists, there will always be suffering.

I hope for generations the Amazon and forest be protected. It's a God's created natural wonder environment and humans should protect it by all means.

I got a chance to navigate this mighty river and saw some pink dolphins swimming back on 2019 going to almost the inner part in Itacotiara. There are cities along the jungle.

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!

Very good. I traveled along the Amazon between Manaus and Monte Alegre (just East of Santarem) for a few weeks in 2013. I was very aware of everything you show here - the soy crisis around Santarem especially. That big building along the river in Santarem has 'Cargill' printed on its roof in giant lettering, you didn't show that and I understand why. What you don't discuss is what we were told in that area especially: that the population pressure around Santarem is partially caused by the forced internal migration in the '70s, when people from poor and drought stricken NE Brazil were moved to the Amazon region 'to develop it'. But these people have no skills and no right to land. They live along these new roads and eke out an existence and they are of course eager to work on the soy farms. Anyway, just one of the many problems that this unique ecosystem faces. Thank you for a balanced insight
