Old Indian
They’ve already taken our hide
and our blood,
they’ve already raffled off our land
with all its sacred names
(and left it stripped to the bone).
Insatiable, now they trade us in
for beef.
No to the sap of agro-business!
No to a fate of agro-death!
No to Kindle in a world without kin!
The flora moans,
the fauna moans,
the mercury-rich river moans.
It is the forest that clothes the Indian.
Leave us the little that remains!
Flowers cannot sprout from flames.

QUEMA Y DEFORESTACIÓN
Los incendios y la deforestación son los principales problemas que enfrenta el bosque en opinión del 44% de los brasileños. La minería ilegal, la apropiación de tierras y el tráfico de drogas y armas han sido nombrados por el 12% como los principales desafíos para la preservación de los bosques y la biodiversidad.
La deforestación se ha agravado en los últimos años en opinión del 77% de los encuestados, mientras que el 14% cree que su ritmo se ha mantenido. La tala de madera es el mayor impulsor de la deforestación en opinión del 48%, seguida de la apropiación de tierras (14%), la ganadería (11%) y la minería ilegal (11%).
COMBATE
En cuanto a las medidas para hacer frente a la destrucción, el 83% apoyó endurecer las penas por deforestación; el 67% se opuso a reducir las reservas indígenas; y el 86% se opuso a permitir la minería en los territorios reservados a los pueblos tradicionales.

ROCK IN RIO 2022: WITH “AMAZONIA” GOJIRA INVITES INDIGENOUS PEOPLE TO THE STAGE
Gojira, a French band, raised awareness of the indigenous cause during the show at Rock in Rio 2022. The band, known for defending environmental causes, performed the song “Amazonia” about the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.
Joe Duplantier, lead singer of French band Gojira, painted his face with annatto before taking the stage. Although he gave the entire presentation with his face painted, he only spoke about the indigenous cause at the end, just before closing the show with “Amazonia”:
“The next song is very, very special. In a way, it’s about you here in Brazil and your beautiful country. This song is about the destruction of the indigenous homeland [brasileiros] and other peoples of the Amazon rainforest. We have to change things. Altogether in many places on this planet. We count on you to do what is right, to do something for your people, your country, your nature. This song goes out to all indigenous people around the world.”
The audience responded enthusiastically (…).
Duplantier is an antideforestation activist. In 2021, he participated in protests against the destruction of Brazil’s forests and indigenous lands, even going to the Central Plateau in the Federal District.

Amazonia (Gojira)
Incite a riot, put yourself in a trance
You rotate the frame in a world you rely on
A scar, a line has been drawn in the sand
Behold the life, the boundaries fools will crush
The greatest miracle
Is burning to the ground
Onto the next stage of the plan
Mourn the witness of the wind
A handful of thunder
Will rise one last time
There's fire in the sky
You're in the Amazon
The greatest miracle
Is burning to the ground
Godly Amazonia
Bloody Amazonia
Mighty Amazonia
Killing Amazonia
Godly Amazonia
Bloody Amazonia
Mighty Amazonia
Killing Amazonia
Godly Amazonia
Bloody Amazonia
Burn the land
Learn the end
Burn
Another gold mine is unveiled
The source of our sorrow
Learn
Embedded in these walls of green
Is the curse that we follow
There's fire in the sky
You're in the Amazon
The greatest miracle
Is burning to the ground
