Brazil‘s Amazon Fight

Global Questions

Available for over a year

President Lula promised at Cop27 that “Brazil is back”, vowing to begin undoing the environmental destruction seen under former President Bolsonaro, as the new government works towards zero deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. President Lula also vowed to focus on the Yanomami indigenous crisis and appointed Brazil’s first-ever minister for indigenous peoples, promising to tackle the humanitarian crisis that’s plaguing the country’s largest indigenous territory. Global Questions travel to Rio de Janeiro where Lyse Doucet takes and her high profile panel take questions from a local audience on what should be done to protect Brazil’s natural resources.
