Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.25,0:01:18.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is the cutting down of some forest trees or species.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.35,0:01:22.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, 'forest degradation' is actually linked with some specific species?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.56,0:01:29.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Exactly, specific species, for example, that are used in the lumber industry or the coal industry.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.66,0:02:28.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have more ability to protect their areas but
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.05,0:02:30.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is not the same in 'protected areas'.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.61,0:03:12.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It happened in 'Nova Pichuna', in Pará state, in 2011,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.39,0:03:19.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when he reported that he had been issued death threats.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.65,0:03:23.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why did he die? He died because he used to guard the forest,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.60,0:03:46.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These areas were donated by the government to the local communities for their use in sustainable practices.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.79,0:03:50.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The farmers want to rent these lands for cattle,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.96,0:03:55.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they can pull together various tiny areas to make a large farm,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.04,0:03:59.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even, they cast out the local farmers and take their properties.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.82,0:04:04.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My friend Jose was denouncing this and he was killed because of this.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.95,0:04:11.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Activists across the whole country were moved.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.07,0:04:13.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because it is very hard to see threats like this one:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.68,0:04:17.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the freedom of speech, the violence and intimidation.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.23,0:04:22.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've recently heard a description of a friend of mine who had participated in
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.23,0:04:25.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,José Cláudio murderers' judgement and it is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.44,0:04:30.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the politics in this Brazilian region (North).
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.46,0:04:39.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The dynamics are so local, the problems are solved by the local inhabitants (not the police)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.23,0:04:42.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and none of the other Brazilian regions know about this violence.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.34,0:04:44.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Where I live, we do not get a lot of these dynamics.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.61,0:04:46.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,José Cláudio's story is a emblematic case,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.79,0:04:53.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because of the fact that his speech was made at TEDx,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.91,0:04:58.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this made him more well known among people,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.08,0:04:59.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a public figure: his speech is on internet,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.88,0:05:03.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,many people heard his story.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.94,0:05:08.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like him, we have a lot of leaders who have been murdered
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.37,0:05:12.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they are continuously being murdered. Other people have been murdered after him,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.45,0:05:18.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but those people are not known. So, the evidence, the big question is
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.59,0:05:23.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how to make public the stories of those people who are dying.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.31,0:05:27.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The fact of knowing though like, in the case of José Cláudio,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.43,0:05:30.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whose situation was more known,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.45,0:05:34.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unfortunately, it was still not possible to prevent his death.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.69,0:05:40.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to ask you. We have information and we are able to point out the problem
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.74,0:05:45.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how could we invert the dynamics and use the information we have
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.04,0:05:50.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to do more effective activism in these Amazon regions?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.33,0:05:52.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think, actually, we have information, but
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.94,0:05:56.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is not used as it should be.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.22,0:06:00.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We should show this more, put more pressure on the government.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.22,0:06:04.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The government knows. The 'Comissão Pastoral da Terra' (Pastoral Land Commission),
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.26,0:06:08.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an organisation administrated by the catholic church, has a list of people under threat.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.53,0:06:12.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you take this list you can check like this: this one is dead, this is dead, dead....
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.80,0:06:15.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is unacceptable!
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.81,0:06:19.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not just the government, but also the society has to do something about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.83,0:06:23.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we think about 'the government', we think just about the executive government,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.65,0:06:33.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but what about the judiciary? Less than 1% these murder cases were solved.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.02,0:06:36.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have to change this reality.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.11,0:06:39.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why is it happening? Are they waiting for judgments?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.25,0:06:41.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or, these cases never getting into court?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.69,0:06:45.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The police never collect enough evidence of the murders,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.84,0:06:50.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is corruption in the police and in the judiciary.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:50.67,0:06:55.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The prosecutors who accuse are not good,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.31,0:06:58.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they are not able to accomplish the prosecution.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.15,0:07:04.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, it is not possible to point to the masterminds of the crimes, or the murderers.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.32,0:07:06.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And It was what happened in the case of José Cláudio, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:06.89,0:07:13.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes. And also the same thing happened in an even more well known case, that is the case of Sister Dorothy.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.31,0:07:18.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In 2005, Sister (a nun) Dorothy was killed.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.85,0:07:36.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And she has been killed with the Bible in hands, you know?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.89,0:07:40.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are aware of who are the masterminds..
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.37,0:07:44.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Is not it possible to gather enough proof? Just one of them has been indicted,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.91,0:07:50.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that is really sad, you know? We cannot accept that! Losing friends, and....
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.46,0:07:58.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they are people who are important to keep as this world's treasure! That is unacceptable!
Dialogue: 0,0:07:58.58,0:08:06.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is a country where a 70 year old lady, a sister, a nun died and
Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.81,0:08:11.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is not possible to prosecute the real masterminds?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.25,0:08:14.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the Amazon we call it a 'consortium'
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.29,0:08:17.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Usually, people are killed by a 'consortium'
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.52,0:08:20.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The most well known people, those who really generate problems.

Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.12,0:09:02.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,José Cláudio was just one of many hidden people (under threat) and a journalist decided
Dialogue: 0,0:09:02.53,0:09:06.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to bring him to TEDx and show his face and due to this
Dialogue: 0,0:09:06.43,0:09:11.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was possible for us to call people's attention to his case

Dialogue: 0,0:09:18.22,0:09:24.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I believe that 'evidence' brings to light what is happening.
