Brazil's indigenous people swear to fight for Amazon 'to last drop of blood'

CANUTAMA, Brazil - Members of Brazil’s Mura indigenous tribe painted their bodies with orange-red paint and took up long bows and clubs as they headed into the jungle this week, prepared for battle. Their enemy? The deforestation and destruction of their home, the Amazon rainforest.

“With each passing day, we see the destruction advance: deforestation, invasion, logging,” said Handerch Wakana Mura, one of several leaders of a tribal clan of more than 60 people. This week, the agency said forest fires were up more than 80% in the country year-to-date, hitting their highest point since at least 2013.Indigenous people from the Mura tribe show a deforested area in unmarked indigenous lands inside the Amazon rainforest near Humaita, Amazonas State, Brazil August 20, 2019.

This time, the path runs particularly close to a group of Brazil nut trees the clan harvests, a major traditional food source for indigenous people in the area, Handerch Wakana Mura and other tribal leaders say.

Hahahahahahahahahaha, this picture...

I'm filled with desperate sadness. The international community must sanction Brazil if Bolsonaro's government refuses to protect the lungs of the world. The entire planet is at stake.

International NGOs are only interested in Brazil because there are billions of dollars worth of ore in the Amazon soil.

Mercosur x European Union Agreement Brazil strong player in this scenario. A flood of indigenous environmentalist accusations across the national and international media. Pretext: Save the Amazon. Objective: To create barriers against the exportation of Brazilian products.

Where have they been for the last 100 years?! Better late than never I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Go ahead you have a lot of fire extinguishers

The Amazon belongs to Brazil and the Brazilians will take care of preservation with determination, law and ensuring order. Many countries no longer have anything to preserve. Never cared. We set the example.

Teddy Roosevelt is shedding tears over this.

Please... it has been 100 years and now they release this statement Really come ooooonn

FAKE NEWS from international NGOs that exploit Brazilian soil through indigenous peoples. It is 21st century colonialism. Take care of your latrines, pigs. The Brazilian Amazon is ours, the Brazilians.

There is only one Amazon! At least, this is what Jeff Bezos says...

Question is Amazon fires rages by the humans so who are those humans to dispose off from the soils of the ancient people living in Amazon?

FAKE NEWS!

Got a lot of watering cans and buckets of sand have they?

Grassroots will topple Empires... Let us support the just When we stand for justice and equality then we all win..

ActForTheAmazon

we all need help.

The answer is to hit Brazil in the wallet. The forests are being burned down for cattle feed and pasture. Stop eating beef and pressure our governments to halt Brazilian beef/soy imports.

So they will fight with bow and arrows?

If there is a country left on this great planet with a soul, they will lend military reinforcement

damn tropical nazis

God bless them
