dom continues from afar, many people have been murdered here. I said I have had Naxal here for 10 years. There was a lot of brush on the road back then, yeah, oh yeah, and it hit. a big hole that the rain made, I'm going to go, I didn't come and the wheel of the truck went straight in, it overturned here and all the wood I was carrying when I was going there, a woman, a neighbor who was traveling with me, was sitting on one of the logs. at that moment so we overturned and got out the woman died she was crushed between the logs there were many logs where we were not it was an unfortunate accident it still affects me 10 years later Jim breaks every time I come here I think about my neighbor This is the woman dead.

Isn't she there? This is why she will push. Her name was Olivia. I said Mom or Libby and she had three kids by the sea or at the nearest Nino's and I've never been back since. carry passengers only goods David still has 200 kilometers of jungle to cover in the Amazon there are millions of kilometers of rivers and streams that provide a link between the most remote villages Marko is in charge of a canoe down the river Camino de Rama to the town of Kyra Getty It will take seven hours to sit here, move the mattress and the gas bottle, okay, come on, the river or the wood provides a lifeline for a dozen villagers, but a lifeline that is at the mercy of the river is dangerous. road and many have already died if you capsize the chances of survival are zero very lever or transport lever you need to know how to maneuver the motor in these fast currents that is the secret there are many accidents with people who lose control of the canoes and crash in the rocks there are stones there and Wham or a piece of wood and what happens one time there was a guy in his canoe with a heavy load of cement and he must have been in a bit of a bad mood because he wasn't that experienced in three of the five passengers to board died we are reaching the most dangerous part now they are so beautiful every year many people drown we have to pay tributes to calm the rapids before we used fermented plants today it is a wild Vietnam we are paying the river and after this next turn and where it curves are the rapids, the river runs through the region of Megan Tony and the sacred Indian land of Michiko Inga, the sanctuary of Macam Tony is a sacred place for us, it is where our ancestors stopped among the rocks that They gave them the lobsters but under these rocks there is gas.

The greatest threat to the way of life of the Indians is little more than a Guinea. The Peruvian state continues to grant mining and hydrocarbon concessions and that only serves to destroy our ancestors and the reserve in the sample by Megan Tony is Emily Anthem gas exploitation began 10 years ago and since there were no

roads

the equipment was brought by boat or helicopter the Indians say that the drilling and gas works have damaged the ecosystem and the fish have practically disappeared. people can pay there are always gas leaks and the fish are affected callable and with all the trawlers and boats there is a lot of pollution which I want immunity after eight hours the canoe ends its trip if there was still something this is the key Community native of Righetti Righetti means carpenter because before they used to be a carpenter the birds here have been small the sacred bird has disappeared another melody has replaced its song and we hunt and fish much less we are losing the old traditions and values ​​just ten years ago the Machee Ganga Indians They survived as hunter-gatherers today they survive on monthly state handouts, the village chief tells them that civilization has invaded their jungle, that's why there is a gas well here.

Repsol pays compensation for their impact on the people of the river and all the noise the helicopters make also gives us some money when they drill for gas and when they start exploiting it it won't explode a co-requisite ok woody fish we only get compensation Due to the indirect effects it causes, it is about seventy-five thousand dollars a year per town. Before there was nothing, nothing to eat, nothing, now there were no stores, there is one, and you can even listen to music, now everyone has a television and most people has the same standard of living as everyone else in the country we all have food ice cream and especially beer there is always plenty of beer here there is only one of the Scourge, which has been inflicted on the Indians since gas exploration began, the wild animals have disappeared, which has led to a winged mammal with a ferocious appetite descending on neighboring farms, we will see a wobble there, there are many bats and a video disc. not like before there were almost none now there are many so you could have an injury the cows go with a mask there are more and more they suck your blood and there is nothing we can do like Batson's nocturnal animals and they in the crazy come and take a look look, in fact bats do not suck the blood of their victims, it is the infection that causes their bite, but it is the problem and the farmers here rarely have the necessary medicines, yes, mattgenever, many bytes and that is why it bleeds so much.

The personality between them, the subsidies on gasoline and alcohol are slowly destroying the machi. Ganga Indians, other tribes face a similar fate after two days behind the wheel. David finally arrives at the Indian reservation where he must drop off the building materials and load a new shipment of lumber. a native he is a Chintu yes motor this is the town they called New Eden and this is the end of the road from a distance in fact it might look like a small piece of paradise closer inspection reveals the truth I embody the wood comes from various places it is shipped by boat and then small trucks bring it here so we can load it hello hello, how are you doing?

Oh I'm fine, I'm fine, David is six hours late but no one is complaining and with good reason I have no idea when I'll be able to load because the news is bad, there are a lot of trucks here now and I'll have to wait. I have been here for almost three days waiting for the freight to Kuzco, three days without work, the only compensation for the drivers is shelter and a place to eat. Three months before, I was in the middle of the jungle and I had witnessed a strange scene. Did you film this? Yes with a small camera.

It's incredible, I almost can't believe it, but it's true that the Indians shouting from the opposite bank of the river are Masha Pierrot and her lifestyle has barely evolved. The law in Peru prohibits any contact with the tribe under penalty of prison. Master Pierrot is not immune to the diseases of modern man and a simple flu could devastate them, it is surprising in our days to see people who live in the same way as primitive man, completely naked, complete them in the current model that they have no contact with civilization, they only came about out of necessity, if they needed food or clothing if they were happy to be in the jungle they wouldn't try to leave it.

I think they want to be part of our world because their needs make them want to go out and see the world, the world that is too often limited to what is closest. town and what is at the bottom of a bottle and the jungle I now civilize my friend I live here here here I am dying slowly here it is okay because I have no land to go to four days later David receives his shipment of 10 tons of wood every year the Peruvian jungle is reduced by about 1,500 square kilometers, the equivalent of two of New York and that figure is constantly increasing Nothe the jungle I don't like the jungle the rivers go fishing I like being in the jungle but if nothing is done some experts predict that there will be no jungle left by the year 2030 in the city wedding it is difficult with an ax it would have taken two days to do this before with the modern equipment we have it is only two hours it is nothing
