00:00We are in the Brésil and the journey to the indigenous land, Coatinemo, is long.
00:14Since Altamira, at the heart of the state of Pará,
00:18it is still three hours on the road of Eire, on the fleuve Chingu,
00:22to arrive at the Asurini.
00:24Like everywhere in the Amazonia, the indigenous people is also prepared to adapt to a more and more warm climate.
00:38It was a lot of wind and there was no rain.
00:42I think we spent three or four months without a bottle of rain.
00:49In 2024, for the first time, the drought record in the Amazonia has destroyed the crop of noix in Brazil,
00:57base of traditional food and produce phare of the trade of indigenous people, riverine and extractivist of the region.
01:05We are also experiencing this climate change here, even in the forest,
01:12but the forest feels that the heat is more and more affecting our own forest.
01:21The noix in Brazil is one of the forest products most sensitive to the heat.
01:28Hundreds of small producers, from traditional communities, have been touched,
01:33not only in their revenue, but in all the food chain,
01:36because animals also nourish the noix.
01:39And we, as indigenous people, are concerned, not only with our well-being,
01:46but also with animals that are here in the forest,
01:50that feel this.
01:53The river also has been set, besides the normal,
01:56and the fish has been diminished a lot.
01:59Our farms also have been diminished.
02:01The forest talks with us, with indigenous people,
02:04and we, as indigenous people, talk and transmit the talk of nature to the world,
02:11what is happening, what is the nature feeling.
02:14The rise of temperature in the region has accelerated from 1960.
02:20The projections the most pessimistic projections indicate a high level up to 6 degrees by 2100.
02:27At the time, a severe drought appeared every 20 years in Amazon.
02:33But since 2005, four severe drought episodes have occurred.
02:39Even if it was supernatural, there was no fire of human origin,
02:44it would still be very difficult for the forest to recover.
02:48Because it was dry, and then when there was a very strong drought,
02:51it degrade the forest.
02:53There are four, five years,
02:56and then there was another drought.
02:59So, what is happening?
03:01With these four droughts very strong,
03:04it has increased too much the area degraded in the Amazon.
03:09Some studies show that 40% of the Amazonian is already at different stages of degradation.
03:16But around the forest protected,
03:18the deforestation for agriculture continues,
03:21reducing the resilience of the forest face to a climate in mutation.
03:26The intention of them is just to make the capi,
03:29and pass,
03:30and don't plant more than a pair of mandioca.
03:33They plant more than a mille,
03:34they plant more than a fish,
03:35they plant more than a fish.
03:36They don't plant more than a fish.
03:37The devastation increases the risk that the Amazonian reaches a point of no return,
03:44that the forest can no longer regenerate to its original state.
03:49There is a seca of global warming,
03:52and then it becomes more seco,
03:53because of the desmatation,
03:54and much more quent.
03:56So, the temperature,
03:58it, sometimes,
03:59increases more than 2 degrees
04:00from what comes from a calor
04:02that comes from the heat of global warming.
04:04There, in the region,
04:05comparating with a region
04:06that has nothing to do with the desmatation,
04:08so,
04:09there comes another factor
04:11of a huge degradation
04:13of the forest.
04:14Last year,
04:15we had the biggest degradation
04:17because there was a lot of incendios,
04:19and as there was a record of seca
04:21and of heat waves,
04:23the vegetation was very inflamed,
04:25so,
04:26it increased a lot of propagation.
04:28The loss of noix
04:30in 2024
04:31and the probability
04:33that this is repeated in the future,
04:35have accelerated the diversification
04:36of the production
04:38in the region of the land of Domeyo.
04:41In these places reculés,
04:43the small farmers
04:44were regrouped
04:45in a network of associations,
04:47because, for them,
04:48adapting to a warmer climate
04:50and warmer climate
04:51became a question of survival.
04:53We are the most contributing
04:55to the regulation of the climate,
04:58but we are the most affected,
05:00because we need
05:02a public policy
05:03adequate
05:04to these territories.
05:06One of the ideas
05:07is to planify
05:08the products
05:09less sensitive
05:10to the climate change,
05:11such as the fruit of Babassu.
05:13The collective
05:14makes pressure
05:15on the banks
05:16and the governments
05:17so that the products
05:18of the forest
05:19benefit from climate change,
05:21in addition
05:22to the first materials
05:23highly exported
05:24by the Brazil
05:25such as the corn
05:26or the soja.
05:27Another way
05:29of diversification
05:30passes
05:31by new
05:32commercial partners.
05:33The production
05:34of seeds, for example,
05:35represents
05:36a potential
05:37even less exploited
05:38by the forest communities.
05:40In addition,
05:41this activity
05:42contributes
05:43to the climate change.
05:46We are in the year
05:48of COP.
05:49We are talking
05:50about climate change,
05:52of rebuilding the forest
05:53that has already been destroyed.
05:54So we are also
05:55with this project
05:56of collecting
05:57seeds,
05:58which all territories
05:59are collecting seeds
06:00and are available.
06:02The Brazil
06:03aims to restore
06:0412 millions
06:05hectares
06:06of forest
06:07in 2030,
06:08an important project
06:09in the fight
06:10against climate change.
06:11and we are
06:14with the people
06:27of the local
06:31of the local
06:33of the state.
