Wait til you see the end of part 2 of the documentary and meet the little girl with "problems". I have rarely seen anything that ripped my heart out like that little girl. One of the most gripping effects I've ever experienced watching a video. It was brilliantly shot as well.
To fix the problem offer these people jobs, teach them how to do these things in a way that's safe for them and the environment. Ok so he was logging to provide for his family? You own this land that you can't take care of 24/7 he can work to maintain paths and stuff. Even better he can salvage some of the fallen trees for a little bit of extra cash. Not only are you taking care of your land your providing a stable income to a family. I know we can't do this with all forest and parks but if people where more considerate and compassionate the world would be a better place
Fuentes last time I checked I'm not in these places and I'm not being affected by these people's choices. These people clearly have the work ethic to handle a legal job and they aren't working to become rich, they are working to make enough to provide for their families. If you had half a brain you would be able to tell what I suggested isn't a one sided thing, it benefits both parties. The locals are provided stable legal jobs. The land owner is provided with relatively low cost protection and care. This isn't handing things to people on a silver platter, it's finding a solution that works from a moral and economical standpoint. He's gonna have to hire people to care for his land anyways, why not give the jobs to people who know the lay of the land and need the income?
"and I'm not being affected by these people's choices." An ignorant statement, no? "These people clearly have the work ethic to handle a legal job..." Aaahhh, you're a remote psychologist, didn't know they had remote therapy robots for diagnosing glimpses of people over youtube, I'm glad that you defined them as work eligible. "what I suggested isn't a one sided thing, it benefits both parties." But their choices don't affect you...??? "The locals are provided stable legal jobs" Which arrrrreeeee? "He's gonna have to hire people to care for his land anyway" Who says you get to demand him to hire? He can choose what he wishes, local or not. If what you're saying is true, that it is an economic incentive to hire locally then he will regardless of your input or concern.
Jess Vagnar it's simply an idea, I'm in no way forcing the land owner to do anything and chances are he will never see this comment. Land needs protection especially if it's for ecological purposes, researchers need guides, land needs protection from illegal foresters, brush needs clearing during dry seasons to prevent fires, if trails are built they need to be maintained. Also if these people are willing to risk their lives from both the legality of this & the hazards that come with logging in order to support their families via hard labor then they clearly have work ethic. Yes this model has flaws but it is simply a theoretical model. But thank you for the debate practice.
+hannah If brush needed clearing what did the forests do before humans were clearing the brush? The evidence we have shows they were fine then ;) The land doesn't need protection. We use and abused the land for centuries, look at Pennsylvania, logged to the point where there were no more trees in most regions, now it's heavily forested again. Trails don't need to be built, and researchers don't need to go. Okay so let's say we do send researchers, congratulations, you just minimally employed 4 people out of the tens of thousands of loggers! What these people need is an education about how the ecological system they are living in work. Clear cut and razing doesn't work. Don't ban asbestos, don't ban mercury, let them work their way through those industrial stages of their nation. THEY DONT have a hard work ethic. They are taking the easy way out, they could easily invest in the proper mining equipment, they could easily selectively harvest the forest or do control brush burning. If you're not forcing the land owner to do anything, and you aren't forcing anyone else to do anything they've already chosen their path! There are no legal consequences from them mining. No one is being sent to jail, there is no money or anyone to enforce a fine, and their government can't afford to pay to house and feed them all in jail. This is similar to saying that Somali pirates are risking the legal consequences of piracy. They would get a better life in jail or a payout worth several lifetimes of money, their only risk is a defense force. No problem for the practice, I left some avenues for you to point out in the above. The solution that is most likely to work is two fold. Firstly deincentivize companies from buying the illegal products (mainly ineffective), and also educate the local population on sustainable forestry, mining, and farming practices (highly effective).
3 years ago now I bought an illegal cocoa Plantation by mistake. These are raw cocoa leaves they have the highest alkaloid content of any cocoa leaves in the world. Which means they make really good cocaine. And their mine. So I became a Coco Lord by mistake. Hahaha
Why does he keep saying that we think these people are evil, no one thinks that. People call the companies and corporations that are cutting down the rain forest evil.
I wanted to hate H James because I saw him as another rich white boy set out to tell the WORLD how to live based on his ideals but then when I saw him sit down with that logger's family and realize his ideals affects the little man who is just trying to survive and take care of his family, I gained hope in mankind. The poor are not intentionally destroying the earth. They are just struggling to live.
I'm sure there are some other ways to them to make a living. If they are exploring gold which is harming them in a long term, it is because rich countries are buying. ..it is the same situation that happens in Africa Continent with the diamonds and so one.
Amazing story Charlie but what can the government or the world do for thiis people to make theyr life easier.. They need our attention everyone.. 🍃🌍🍃💕✌💕
So this is basically how "you" planted a dozen trees in the Amazon? I don't get what you were you trying to accomplish with this talk. I am Peruvian, live in Peru and I've done documentaries in the deep Amazon as well. When I heard "I bought an illegal coca plantation by mistake..." (HUGE LIE!) When you buy land in the Amazon...if you can get all the paperwork correct...you inspect all the limits of your land and most importantly what's in it!!! He perfectly knew about it . Coca plants are great medicinal plants and a natural booster. After this I knew the rest of the talk was going to be a fony experience in the Amazon. I can't belive he is basically supporting and giving excuses for illegal logging and gold mining and people are laughing in the room. So if I have problems in the US or the UK. I'll start cutting trees of peoples front yard, sell guns and drugs? Just because of "I have problems" . Those guys should be in jail and not taking pictures with a chainsaw smiling next you as if you all had done something good. There are other ways to make a living in the Amazon: tourism is huge part of it, agriculture, transportation, etc. We have to support people in the Amazon with education and make them realised what they are doing is horrible and illegal. It will eventually affect us all No excuse to kill the Amazon with illegal mining and logging It wouldn't surprised me if you bought that golden nugget!!! What a shame that National Geographic decided to upload this irrelevant experience in the Amazon
I think the purpose of the video was not to endorse illegal mining or logging, but rather to get rid of the myth that the people who are doing these illegal acts are not doing it because they want to, but rather as a means of survival. Even if you put these people in jail, what would that really accomplish ina developing country? Not much. The point being made in the video is that the people living in these areas of extreme poverty need better economic alternatives to making a living, how else are they going to survive? Although I agree that there are alternative ways to make a living in the Amazon, it is not nearly that simple. Most people living in extreme poverty are unable to achieve a better standard of living for many, many reasons that are not easy to solve, as is what you seem to think. Since they live in an area of poverty to begin with, do you really think it is that easy to find other jobs that are economically viable? Not to mention that farming and agriculture also take up land and can lead to deforestation, plus requires a lot of knowledge, skill, and investment that people who don't have a background in farming may find risky to uptake. I don't know much about the economy in the Amazon, but I do know that it is not that easy to et out of poverty based off common sense.

The point being madein the video is that the people living in these areas of extreme poverty need better economic alternatives to making a living, how else are they going to survive? The medicinal properties of cocoa plants seem like an interesting prospect. However, that will naturally also require a lot of investment if it were made into a business. However, growing cocoa plantations on the forested land would just destroy it and defeat the purpose of the National Park. The purpose of the park is to conserve wildlife and nature.
But that not how you preserve nature, even if it's the only way to get money for a living, we must narrow down to the root of the problem, what forced them to take that hard path? and what did they need from the begining to live?
Incredibly naive information. Ofcourse there are certain people making tonnes of money in the amazon, think about the guus who own the gold mine and pay those workers. Think about the guys who run the wildlife trade and the hardwood trade.
I'm sure there are many other ways to them to make a living. If they are exploring gold which is harming them in a long term, it is because rich countries are buying. ..it is the same situation that happens in Africa Continent with the diamonds and so one.
Thanks so much for showing this to the world. Creating hate brings forth violence, creating understanding brings forth solutions
this is incredibly interesting

That is a great idea and everybody will gain.
So heart touching....
I live in Borneo and have seen the destruction myself. But the people are good people who need the jobs to support their families.
Second time watching this, still absolutely love this story.
3 years ago now I bought an illegal cocoa Plantation by mistake.
These are raw cocoa leaves they have the highest alkaloid content of any cocoa leaves in the world.
Which means they make really good cocaine. And their mine.
So I became a Coco Lord by mistake.
Hahaha
They're
I like this guy.
Thank you
Why does he keep saying that we think these people are evil, no one thinks that. People call the companies and corporations that are cutting down the rain forest evil.
It's called cultural bias.

I'm sure there are some other ways to them to make a living. If they are exploring gold which is harming them in a long term, it is because rich countries are buying. ..it is the same situation that happens in Africa Continent with the diamonds and so one.

Amazing story Charlie but what can the government or the world do for thiis people to make theyr life easier.. They need our attention everyone.. 🍃🌍🍃💕✌💕
People clapped when they heard "endless poverty trend??"
How much did you pay for the 100 acres?
So this is basically how "you" planted a dozen trees in the Amazon? I don't get what you were you trying to accomplish with this talk.
I am Peruvian, live in Peru and I've done documentaries in the deep Amazon as well.

Regardless of his motive he still made the problem more know at least its something

if you watch only this part 1 of 2 you will not understand the message of this video ~ watch deep into part 2 of 2 ~
Lol either that was really dirty water or the father was giving the little girl alcohol.
Madman0001 It was to back up his story. She's not disabled, just drunk af.
It was coke. If u watch closely you'll see a Coke bottle.
How I accedentaly bought a cocain plantation title be like
This made my decision infinitely more complicated :'(
Most would prefer to retire at 35 not drop dead from mercury poisoning.... Sickening that he allows those kids to get in those toxic chemicals.
i feel bad for them :(
mercury is not toxic in metal form
Why don’t they just use dredge boats?? For the gold I don’t get it
They are destroying land that doesn't belong to them.
Charlie looks like Jim Carrey
The host is kinda attractive
"my land" ...!
he sometimes looks like Clint Eastwood
What kind of disability does the girl have exactly? The whole bit about the machine and her being three months old confused me.
CelibateCetologist she probably suffered some degree of brain damage
Mercury poison maybe?
CelibateCetologist Traumatic brain injury.
Oh Erasmus, vere are you hiding?
just got give new option grow food tree that make new living.
But that not how you preserve nature, even if it's the only way to get money for a living, we must narrow down to the root of the problem, what forced them to take that hard path? and what did they need from the begining to live?
Did he just pet that little girl like a dog?
He is like Bill Nyee
A word twisting moron who had one area of expertise?
is he looking for freedom ?
WOW and
😭😭
am I the only one who thinks the kid was faking
not gonna get a gold ring
Replant!!!!
I bought a cocaine plantation by mistake
Who is getting rich from it tho?
He has too much Botox in the tv studio
Please keep a beard really!!!
Is it just me or was she playing disabled?
William W idiot
Haha, ouch.
William W just saying, It's obvious when someone is just pretending. 🤗
Lol by accident
Mercury es toxic
Incredibly naive information.
Ofcourse there are certain people making tonnes of money in the amazon, think about the guus who own the gold mine and pay those workers. Think about the guys who run the wildlife trade and the hardwood trade.
:(
Money money money
So disappointing to see this🙄
At least learn Spanish or have a translator before you interview them
1st
Yeah, cause everyone cares!
+Peter Bucek i care
If you're learning spanish and can't understand what the woman is saying, don't feel bad. neither can I, being mexican.
Her mother tongue could be something indigenous, though. Quechua maybe?
Sounds good to me, better than many mexicans I know
Raúl Raúl nope, it’s regular Spanish. Sounds like anybody from northern Mexico honestly.
I live in Borneo and have seen the destruction myself. But the people are good people who need the jobs to support their families.
