I have a psychologist friend who used to live in trairão (don’t remember if I told you that I’m from pará), working with local communities. some cracked-egged stories. the irony here is: once cocoa and cattle are gone (cuz they will, as it’s already happening in middle-west, xingu/cerrado), there will be no reforestation. but soy plantations cuz, as good vegans, we shall not eat meat to save the planet.
like this meeting to save amazon we’re having in belém these days. lula had time to talk to every single politician and businessman. but to indigenous leaders. these ones are only good companies in a photography, after all.
Thank you for this insight! Your friend sounds interesting & doing important work. Even though the subject matter has a global impact— as a reader, I rely on the information shared in the article. That’s why I share things— to gain a deeper perspective if it catches the attention of the right person— you are living & breathing the moment within the community.
he’s just an old fool nowadays, like me. teaching what he’s learnt and seen at federal university.
I, unfortunately, am within both communities — the forest one and the soy one. and shocked.
