Very good @National Geographic is presenting this information to the world!!
This is so depressing. It makes you feel sick in the stomach and to know there is nothing we can do when government and mafia are hand by hand. Completely disgusting. Makes me angry.

QOTD: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better. It's not." -The Lorax
This is very terrible to the highest degree and it is easy to criticize these people, but in reality this is the result of bad governance, government corruption and government greed in countries like this. Everyday people are struggling to get by everyday. I grew up in a third world country. The struggle is crazy and real, because the government does not care about the people. The government care more about stealing money.
So much love for these communities and the nature they hold sacred❤ it should be sacred to all of us
Your crew does a great job with pieces like this. Thanks
This series is amazing!!
As Brazilian this is a disgrace to all of us ! very sad and i true believe there's No END for this - Our planet it is in Dangerous !

Notorious global cardinal crimes the West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on? 😔 Europe for Native Europeans, Africa for Native Africans, America for Native Americans, Asia-Pacific for Native Asians-Pacific islanders.

Question you should be asking is who are the criminals who are buying ? If there's no demand there's no offer.

It's a massive problem when civilians mine for gold but the government can mine anywhere and keep whatever?? That seems kinda weird and it makes our government seem rigged😑
Environmental destruction at its worst.

If nothing else, at least take the wood that's being seized by the police, make furniture out of it, then sell it and all the money from it goes to the tribes. And maybe even get volunteers to make that furniture because we're using cell phones with gold in them it's coming straight from there. You can sign me up.

God will bring to an end those ruining the earth... This is why I'm still using my iPhone 8. I don't support strip mining.
When a country struggles economically people are desperate. Because of corruption in the government the country will definitely collapse.
Burning valuable wood when the world has shortage of building materials. Greed is evil.
I hope they sell the wood for funding to stop it or do they just burn it
You'll never stop it they're willing to die to get it it's a sad sad fact of life

Horrible . There needs to be political change and pressure from other countries towards the Brazilian regime and forces involved !
Lets no cut down the forests that make our environment
Mariana speaks fluent Portugese??
Anybody that buys that would clearly knows that it is illegal and it should be treated and track like a drug and whoever purchases it on the tail-end if they don't tell who sent it to them and they should be locked up
