as posted by the channelBritish journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira have still not been found, after being reported missing Sunday in one of Brazil's most remote areas of the Amazon. The pair were traveling across the region to interview Indigenous leaders patrolling the area for illegal miners and fishers for Phillips's upcoming book.

Alfinito also explains how Brazilian President Jair Bolsanero has systematically destroyed protections for Indigenous groups across the Amazon.
