Peru: Amazonia, The Final Conquest

In Peru, David sets out for the Amazon to gather wood and provide for his family, risking his life on crumbling roads battered by El Niño and extreme weather linked to global warming.
In one of the world’s last intact rainforests, gas exploration and deforestation are rapidly destroying the jungle, forcing local communities to take part in its devastation to survive.
At the end of his journey live the Masho Piro, one of the last isolated Indigenous peoples, now facing extinction as the Peruvian Amazon loses 145,000 hectares of forest each year.

  1. 2:13 No, El Niño is not caused by global warming. That’s a backwards claim—likely a slip-up or oversimplification in the documentary. El Niño is a natural, recurring climate pattern in the equatorial Pacific that’s been happening for centuries (long before human-caused warming), driven by shifts in trade winds and ocean temperatures. 

  2. Gracias por subir estos documentales. Hora de reposo de las tareas hogatreñas o trabajo es un deleite para sobrevivir ante tanta idiotez virtual. No me arrepiento de la suscripción. Saludos a los que hacen posible mis viajes".

  3. Wow! Only 2 minutes in before you started with the "global warming". That might be a record. Thanks so much for letting us know we can stop watching!

  4. Уничтожение лесов и джунглей и добыча газа никчему хорошему для этих людей не приведёт. Алкоголь который доставила этим людям цивилизация их убивает, а если еще появятся наркотики их окончательно добьёт.
