A new “soy rush” has been kick- started, and large-scale farm producers from all over Brazil are flocking to the Amazon forest in hopes of striking it rich with this golden crop. Yet all this comes at a price. Communities -- most often those found in the forest -- are often violently expelled from their lands in the wake of this uncontrolled scramble to plant soy.

For Brazil, it’s all in the name of progress. Still, to ask those whom have been chased from their lands and have seen first-hand the ecological wrath which has followed in the wake of soy in the region of Santarem, this new cash crop in the Amazon has brought nothing but destruction and misery.

Chief Raoni

The insight courage and determination of Chief Raoni is so inspiring. I'm having a hard time controlling my outrage at what is being done to Mother Earth and the indigenous people in particular. I know that love and light will win but find it So saddening to see this mass destruction. I pray that when the shift happens and new guardians are empowered that we all can follow the lead of Chief Raoni. And I pray for reassurance that the amazon and her tribes and animals will be saved.
