When Davi Kopenawa Yanomami leaves home, you know the world is in trouble

The waters of the the Amazon rainforest are being destroyed by mining and logging companies. Thousands of miles away from us in the UK, people are doing things which will have a direct impact on our way of life, not to mention on the indigenous people living there.

"When Davi Kopenawa Yanomami leaves home you know something's wrong. He's a shaman, or traditional healer, from one of the world's largest largest groups of isolated peoples. Home is Watoriki, a village in the northern Amazon, deep in the forests and mountains near the Brazilian border with Venezuela." (Guardian.co.uk)
