They are living in constant migration.

Here should be the 7pm.

About 8 light a fire

and make the only hot meal of the day.

After dinner, there are gatherings.

And the fire goes out.

While the fire burning is the temperature is pleasant: 15-20 degrees.

Two hours later, it is already 30 below zero.

They are real cowboys of Siberia.

Always wear ties

They wear leather boots with silver fox.

Sleep with their boots. A boot lasts a lifetime.

The Obi is a very special river,

It was to show nature, animals, places and people

They are living as the beginning of time.

A more optimistic view of the same planet

Sebastiao had looked hurt and destroyed.

Genesis was to be his great work.

A love letter to the planet.

Zo' had representations in writings of the sixteenth century Jesuits

Amazon coming and reported on a people

who wore a kind of tube in the lower lip.

These Indians never been seen.

We thought it was a fable

or an invention of the Jesuits,

until the end of the forties,

when we contacted them again.

These Indians live in paradise.

The only place I've seen in my life

where women have 3, 4 or 5 husbands

and many other women's husbands.

The woman has a husband hunter,

un fisherman husband,

a husband who works a little agriculture

a husband who is close to home and helps you do all ...

Women have tremendous power.

Have dominion over from men,

bastante considerable.

Something that has always seemed very interesting to these peoples

It is that the people had a full awareness of their image.

When I was going to take a picture,

the person knew I was going to represent your image

At first they were somewhat interested, then let them be interested.

It was not his world.

However, I was very interested in my knife.

YPO my friend made me swear I'd give my knife.

But the head of the FNI

had made me promise not to give them anything,

to protect the purity of these Indians.

I said, "Look, we make a deal.

The day that you go and strip the knife out the window of the plane.

I will follow the path of the plane

and I find the knife. "

These plants are very old.

They are between 40 and 50 years.

The wonderful plants ...

ferns.

A shade plant, which grows in the middle of the jungle,

in the highest parts, here.

Hair reminds me of my mother.

My mother was a beautiful woman. Lot.

Those were your plants. When she died,

my father cared for him until he died.

After the we brought us.

Look, it's raining.

How pretty.

That land is very important to us.

We are closing a cycle with this land

and during that cycle she spent our lives.

He spent the lives of my parents,

step the life of my sisters,

and much of my life.

And now turn to add our lives to this.

My life and Leila again.

It remains our history.

It was part of my childhood and now it is my old age.

And the day I die,

We leave here the forest there was a bit before my time.

Therefore, you will complete a cycle.

It's the story of my life.

The man whose photographs have told us

thousands of stories about our planet,

It leaves us a great history and a great dream:

the destruction of nature can be reversed.

More than a thousand fountains watering again "Terra Institute".

There are already planted 2.5 million trees.

The wildlife has returned, even jaguars.

The earth is no longer possession of Salgado,

now a national park that belongs to everyone.

Is the demonstration that devastated lands anywhere

they can return to forest.
