Synopsis
The Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau Indigenous Territory, in the Amazon, holds rich biodiversity, important freshwater sources and significant intact rainforest. The Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau have faced successive invasions from loggers, farmers and land-grabbers wanting to illegally clear land in the Amazon. The Jupau Team undertake surveillance missions and, to avoid potentially deadly confrontations, they are using drones, smartphones and camera traps to discover and document illegal deforestation. They are working to preserve their livelihoods, culture and to protect the rainforest and everything it holds.
