Is there hope for the Amazon?

Video Description

As large as the continental United States, the Amazon is the most biodiverse region of the entire planet. But the Amazon isn’t just a rainforest—it’s a battleground. Why does saving the Amazon seem impossible? Can a forest that has withstood empires survive humanity’s relentless march forward? This is not another video about how the Amazon is doomed, because the truth is that it’s complicated. It’s a story of power, poverty, and survival in the heart of the world’s greatest jungle. https://buymeacoffee.com/lostincontext Sources (for the Amazon series) - Grandin, Greg- Fordlandia, 2009 - John Hemming, Tree of Rivers: The Story of the Amazon, 2008 - Chris Feliciano Arnold, The Third Bank of the River, 2018 - Charles C.
