00:30My name is Ryan. I'm a wildlife biologist and filmmaker. This is Etobo Baiwa. He invited me to visit his family and document his home, where his ancestors have lived for generations. They are caught between two worlds, where the new world is rapidly consuming the old.
00:51We hoped that we could make a difference and help save Yasuni. Etobo and I organized an expedition. Together, we traveled 1,500 kilometers inside Yasuni.
01:03I assembled a team of biologists to perform a biological inventory in an area never before explored by scientists.
01:12For the Yasuni National Park, we have more diversity here than anywhere else in the world.
01:17Even on my first night hike, I came up with a possible new species.
01:21And it just came zipping right down and landed, like, right in front of my face.
01:28Below Yasuni lie Ecuador's largest untapped oil fields.
01:32All countries that depend on oil, they have a curse.
01:38It's quite chilling realizing that another vast portion of the Yasuni was about to be altered forever.
01:45The case of the people in isolation in Ecuador is symbolic of the fate of the world.
01:53They died, right? They died before us.
01:56We don't want to fight against the war. We don't want it.
02:00Let's live the peace of us.
02:03What are we waiting for the day of the apocalypse?
02:07If Yasuni is destroyed, the Warhani will be destroyed.
02:10Warhani culture and rainforest conservation are inseparable.
