I have spent long periods in the Amazon, navigating its rivers, flying over dense jungle and peripheral mountain ranges and, above all, living among its people in tiny communities scattered across the world’s largest tropical rainforest.

Their disappearance would be a tragedy for Brazil and an immense loss for humanity. There is no time to lose.

Just as unforgettable is the feeling of intimacy I experienced when spending weeks on end with different tribes. Through them, the forest and rivers took on a new meaning, one that offered life and sustenance.

I rediscovered the lives we led thousands of years ago. The indigenous peoples face an extreme threat to their very survival. These people are part of the extraordinary history of our species.

I felt privileged to be allowed to share their time and space, first patiently learning to be accepted, then quietly recording their daily lives - their warm family ties, their hunting and fishing, how meals are prepared and shared...

And I can say without hesitation, even after a career full of extraordinary experiences, nothing has given me greater joy than working with the indigenous tribes. Through them, thanks to them, I reconnected with my own prehistory.

Their magical ways of painting their faces and bodies, the importance of their shamans, their dances, and rituals. In this way, I could feel and convey their gentleness.
