You had a lot of very impoverished people going to very remote places, working for ultimately rubber barons. A lot of people end up living along the rivers and becoming fishermen and hunters later on. That was one wave of migration. Another wave of migration was driven by the government.

In the 1960s and 1970s, a military dictatorship took over with a dream of taming what had thus far been untamed. And they called it A land without men for men without land. That meant that we're going to populate this area and make it ours. Because until then, the Amazon had been part of Brazil, but totally separate from Brazil.

So it became completely anarchic that people would just take land, claim it was theirs, sell it to someone else, and it also became this huge system of cutting down the forest to claim it. So pretty much, they built a pathway into this new area. They did that, but they didn't do enough to develop what was at the end of the pathway. And it created this very anarchic, violent, and lawless place.

This area in recent years has been subsumed by crime. It's at the nexus of three different countries with a lot of drug trafficking going on between them. And this driving of crime also resulted in a ripple effect of people becoming illegal fishers and illegal hunters. And they would poach inside of these indigenous territories. These are armed fishermen, poachers, and armed hunters.

The Amazon, for years, has been protected by several agencies in Brazil that protect safeguard the environment, safeguard indigenous rights. And what Bolsonaro ultimately did was strangle those organizations, those agencies that had those responsibilities. And as those agencies withered, crime surged and crime came in and deforestation rocketed. What keeps the lid on top
