The Amazon is an ancient forest, home to incredible animals and unknown species. Indigenous Peoples, traditional communities, and environmental activists are among those who are working to protect it amid grave dangers. It can feel cinematic at times, but it is real life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

In the south of the Brazilian state of Amazonas, very close to where columns of trees meet pasture fences, a coffee-colored river meanders through a living and pulsating forest. Our story begins there, where thousands of people struggle to secure a thriving future for their piece of Amaz\u00f4nia, and nature is mother of this resistance. <\/p>\n\n

Just beyond a\u00a0frontier of forest destruction<\/a>, the Manicor\u00e9 region is located in the \u201cAMACRO region,\u201d where the states of Amazonas, Rond\u00f4nia and Acre converge. The Manicor\u00e9 region takes its name from the Manicor\u00e9 River \u2014 a tributary of the Madeira River, the biggest tributary of the Amazon \u2014 that crosses through the heart of the area. Since 2015, Manicor\u00e9 has been the fifth-most deforested region in the state. In the last year alone, 134.67 square kilometers (km\u00b2) were deforested there.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The Economy of Destruction and Danger<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The threats to the forest and the communities who call it home have become ever present. While in the north of Manicor\u00e9, gigantic rafts of\u00a0mining machinery\u00a0are spread by the hundreds along the rivers, contaminating the waters and the fish. Further South, the forest is being rapidly stolen and destroyed by illegal\u00a0loggers, land grabbers, and cattle ranchers.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

These intersecting processes of forest destruction are made possible by an intentional strategy of the Bolsonaro government to sabotage environmental law enforcement, weaken laws, and offer leniency to land grabbers and others involved in environmental crimes. The future of the Amazon rainforest has been put up for sale by those who value profits over people and the planet. Unless the forest is protected, companies and politicians will try to profit until the last leaf. <\/p>\n\n

This government\u2019s anti-environmental policies also increase violence in the region against traditional communities and Indigenous Peoples, as well as activists, inspectors, and professionals who dare to speak the truth about this absurd situation. The world saw a tragic example of what can happen in such an atmosphere of lawlessness with the murders\u00a0of Brazilian Indigenist Bruno Pereira and English journalist Dom Phillips<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n

The\u00a0destructive economic development model long practised in the Amazon<\/a>\u00a0has been bolstered by the Bolsonaro government. It does not have to be this way. Local communities have been living in harmony with the forest. They understand\u00a0sustainable uses of the standing forest<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 such as a\u00e7ai fruit cultivation or harvesting of Brazil nuts. Ensuring the rights of communities that want to live with the forest sustainably is a necessary way forward because the Amazon rainforest will not exist in the future if mining, burning, or forest destruction continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

We don\u2019t really have much of a choice, there are climate and biodiversity emergencies knocking at our door, and the destruction of the Amazon only accelerates them. If the Amazon rainforest reaches a tipping point of no return, the Amazon will fail as a rainforest and there will be impacts for all of us. Many people already understand this and are advocating for sustainable development models that understand the science and recognize what is at stake. Without protecting the Amazon, we can lose it \u2014 and so much more \u2014 altogether.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The future of Manicor\u00e9 \u2014 and the Amazon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

In Rio Manicor\u00e9, a group of communities, home to about 4,000 people, have been fighting for 16 years for the creation of a Sustainable Development Reserve (RDS)<\/a>, a type of protected area that exists in Brazil that is designed to protect natural areas of great biological relevance, while also guaranteeing the sustainable use of natural resources by traditional populations, ensuring their way of life. <\/p>\n\n

Over the years, the communities associated with the Central das Associa\u00e7\u00f5es Agroextrativistas do Rio Manicor\u00e9 (Caarim) have sought to prove the necessity of having their forest protected. This year,\u00a0Caarim finally received<\/a>\u00a0a government concession for collective use (CDRU), which at least prevents people from outside the area from taking ownership of the land. An area of 3,899.32 km\u00b2 was granted for such use, but this document alone does not solve the problem without proper implementation which includes management, the definition of activities allowed within its limits and enforcement to avoid illegal activities and land grabbing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

This region is constituted of public lands that have not yet been designated for any particular use. There are more than 500,000 km\u00b2 \u2014 larger than the size of Spain \u2014 of undesignated public forests<\/a> in the Brazilian Amazon. These forests belong to the Brazilian people under the auspices of the Federal, State or local governments; and they are crucial to the global climate. Unfortunately, in practice, they are being \u201cclaimed\u201d or stolen by whoever comes first. When a plan for these lands is not made, they are frequently targeted for land grabbing, which is responsible for 1\/3 of all deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. To make matters worse, the agribusiness lobby in the Brazilian Congress is trying to reward this model of theft through legislation known as the \u201cLand Grabber\u2019s bill.\u201d However, there is hope because officially designating these areas for sustainable use and conservation could be a part of what helps us secure a safer future climate. Such protected areas could help reduce deforestation in the Amazon, which has increased year over year since 2017.<\/p>\n\n

And, really, that\u2019s what the Amazon needs now: more protection that empowers the people who love and care for it. <\/p>\n\n

The \u2018Amazon We Need\u2019 expedition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

We\u2019re at that part of the movie where scientists go on TV to warn about the tidal wave or the deadly virus, and nobody cares. But there are people who take action, and we must be on their side. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

\"\u201cAmazon
The river expedition \u201cAmazon We Need\u201d, held in June 2022, is a way to discuss new economic development models for the region, based on forest potential, the knowledge of traditional and Indigenous populations, and promoting scientific research. \u00a9 Todd Southgate \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

The \u201cAmazon We Need\u201d expedition is the way Greenpeace Brazil will be telling the world about these people, this place, this powerful part of the Amazon, and the dream shared by so many of a future with standing forests, dignity, biodiversity and science. <\/p>\n\n

In order to support the ongoing campaign of the people of Manicor\u00e9,the expedition is also a platform to support the work of researchers from the National Institute for Research in the Amazon (INPA), and partner institutions in their studies of the rich biodiversity of this little-studied piece of Amazonia. Their findings about the biodiversity in this area will aid the communities as they make their case to have their rights to use the forest sustainably recognized.<\/p>\n\n

As this journey unfolds, we will tell you all the details, each story, each species, each encounter. Because this was just the first chapter of a story that is still being written.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t
