Turn to his profession ronnie. Get up off the ground. And were going to run out of here youre up to date with news for all of us here in berlin thanks for the company will be back at the top of the hour with more world news. My first bike was the Sewing Machine. Where i come from women are bound by this social tools to build something as simple as a dining hall to write a buy side of the season to me. Since i was a little girl i want to talk about bicycle of my family and it took me as the months but. Finally they gave up and mentioned by me and i said that and three times because Sewing Machine sewing i suppose was more apt procreates one of those than Writing Advice as knowledge i was only challenged the boss woman back home
full of bones about it in two thousand and social goals and informed him about that basic rights my name is dave out of the home and i wore eat a. Little. Shui from the washer shara tried to use defending the amazon rain forest for the traditional homeland of his people he and his warriors are fighting against Illegal Logging in Northeastern Brazil at the audi borja indigenous research. Its a perilous undertaking more than sixty warriors from his tribe alone have been killed in recent years sure he has also received Death Threats but hes not giving up in despair the washer shara feel they cannot rely on Government Protection no
matter what the outcome of brazils president ial elections they need to help themselves. She we and his warriors are on patrol the chief has informed them that loggers have gained access to his forest by bribing members of the indigenous population this makes sure his mission even more dangerous he cant let the corrupt tribe members know that hes on to them the clearing is up ahead well go along here to get there more quickly would they call themselves the guardians of the forest and defend that wash our peoples reserve and maren ya brazil should we and his group leave their weapons with the rest of the troop so they wont stand out while theyre getting the lay of the land. Oh youre. Right they were
lets go. Theyre going on ahead to scout things out and look for clues of Illegal Logging. That is. Hidden in a thicket they discover one its a prized tree thats been felled our. It is still mad there and they cut down the tree and have but sometimes dont even take them away because they found Something Better the lot either but i know thats very hurtful to us warriors its sad to see wood lying around like this. Tropical hardwoods from the amazon are in demand in brazil and around the globe but only logs of the right size at all at the stab me and give us this one here will make lots of boards lots. That next one is costly jewels so the things of ours theyre selling are extremely valuable and engine noise and then they find someones cut
a swath through the forest illegally. Clear but this is the modern transport route. The truck has been here already for look at the destruction theyve caused it is. The tallest and strongest trees are gone along with the parrots and numerous other species who call the forest home. So it is here is the lawyers unit of measure whose mother it is a. Foot on mars is two units. I think you can use this to build a house of a little for Furniture Doors and gates all for. My sake the logs cant be longer than this otherwise they wont fit into the truss of the communal. Bloggers used bribes or intimidation to secure the help of the indigenous population it is the to me that was body and she is very or they terrorize our
tribesmen and offer them Little Things like an attack of salt or to decide how and where such rubbish doesnt even come close to paying for the wood that they take from us. Accurately. Then in the distance they hear the roar of a chainsaw if she we and his men are going to confront the lawyers they need to find a reinforcements fast or risk paying with their lives it was a group within their armed. But if we just show up the way we are now theyll simply kill us all. Protecting the reserve is really the job of the brazilian state but officials usually only get involved after the Indigenous People have taken Action Attempts to press charges often go nowhere and state aid is a Long Time Coming so should we and his men defend the forest as best they can. Get
over the head i want to force to return to the way it was before and thats possible is a soap we just have to watch over it and drive out these invaders its them. All around the extent of the destruction is clearly evident the trees have made way for grazing land. Around three quarters of the amazon rain forest in the state of matter in the hour has already been destroyed only within protected areas like the arab oil reserve does dense forest remain but even here more land has been deforested than in almost any of the other indigenous territories and that has increased the already high risk of forest fires around five and a half thousand members of the tribe live in are a boy like she we and his family most live in modest circumstances from a bit of social assistance shui receives no compensation for his work as a guardian of the forest though this takes up most of his time. One of the rule for
fiscal is when we set off to check out an area we dont return the same day. We spend more than fifteen days in the woods but i think. They do everything on foot as they lack cars or motorbikes the government has cut off the technical and Financial Support at once provided the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and Environmental Protection arent a political priority in brazil so should we documents the operations he and his men carry out using his cell phone. Scott if we have branded these guys one is a member of a neighboring tribe ones a fellow. We were tired of hearing the bounds of the chain saw here in the area youre destroying our home mr. Oliver trains are our life our so we dont invade your territory it was there. We tied them up because we dont trust them. They come prepared to say if we let them go they might have
a weapon hidden way somewhere and. Thats why we tie them up. As soon as we surge this entire area will let them go. I dont see is. Setting a truck on fire is common practice here even the Brazilian Environment Agency resorts to setting vehicles ablaze in the fight against Illegal Logging. Still its a risky topic ation. With all of them trucks like this dont come cheap. You know so when we set one on fire we inflame the owners anger at us even more. Now we cant even set foot on their territory. No longer say if you show up your body will kill you
if you. See we is preparing for a meeting of the tribes members illegal deforestation and the loggers threats have become major issues more than sixty quassia showers have been murdered in recent years mainly because they like sure we went up against the longer. Tribal members have come from all parts of the reserve. Even on the way to the meeting she we uses the opportunity to convince newcomers not to accept bribes from longers. I want each and every one of you to protect our land. That we were. Sure we is thirty and heads a group of fifteen warriors hes the coordinator of one of the reserves eight regions at their annual general meeting hes one of sixty guardians of the forest
here to decide on a common strategy they have over Four Thousand square metres of land to watch over it can hardly be done without technical equipment and support from the police. One of she worries most experienced Warriors Josie speaks for most everyone here when he says. I cant confront a guy who is armed to the teeth bare chested and without a weapon. The police have to come along. And every coordinator shouldnt just develop his own plan. There must be unity. With they also want the police to patrol on foot not just in their cars so they can go deeper into the woods. I want these invaders to be hunted down and not just on the roads sticking to routes that are accessible by vehicle just wont work. For the washer shara the annual meeting is the most
important event of the year representatives from the reserve talk with reps from n. G. O. S and the brazilian authorities about pressing issues like investing in education infrastructure and Fire Prevention and above all protecting their territory. Where people of fighters were warriors and that my fight is for our territory together we can also influence policy. Our fight is for unity not. Was. There chant is meant to unite the voices of brazils Indigenous Community these Nine Hundred Thousand people have no political lobby in brazil in this months elections any iwaki china became the first indigenous woman to be elected to congress but if they are to affect any change many more indigenous politicians must
follow her lead. The cautious shara are painting their hopes on their young people. She was man block off the road so the cautious are can celebrate the next generation of warriors with a traditional festival. Was. There. With the other bits not easy for us to protect our culture more in line with us but i think its a struggle to preserve our rhythm and way of life form of stuff like this and they are wiser but were still young and its up to us to safeguard our customers more and more our lives in my various accords.
