"Humans" .. The story of how ONE species destroyed an entire beautiful planet and all its inhabitants ...
Sad, how the greed of man is destroying everything in their path and the poor suffer.
As long as greed exists, there will always be suffering.
That's why I have to help them the day GOD blesses me I'm going to build a foundation over there so they will never have to worry bout clean water again 😘
So beautiful😘😘
Beautiful video and great approach to the problematic situation on the Amazonas. Thanks. Cheers from Argentina.
Thank you for this video. We came to know how people live in this area very peacefully
Truly we people are the destroyer of the earth.
You're beautiful
As a brazillian living near the amazon (basically on the edge of the general amazonic biome) it's such a shame that my government has allowed so many unregulated and unrelenting deforestation of this great place. And such precarization led to the giant fires in 2019 dry season. My state is the state that cuts down most area in the amazon per day. And its so sad because it displaces indiginous people from where they have lived for generations, destroys the habitat for animals and plants all for the sake of such weak profit. Its not even only for wood, its to make area for cattle production 😠 and the stupid men don't realize that if they destroy the amazon, Brazilian center and southeast will lose so much of rain it will become like a desert almost. Not to mention the overall planet. And our minister of Environment Ricardo Salles does basically the opposite of protecting the environment lol. The amount of corruption in this governet is enfuriating. Our politicians are basically puppets for the giant plantations and woodcutting companies so that they can keep exploring the amazon in a bad way. It makes me shameful for being brazillian. Hopefukly my generation can stop this madness and give theost beautiful forest ever time to heal
judgment day is approaching fast, we are destroying the world by our own hands.
I fight for the Amazon native rights! Love from England ❤✌
Sad 😕 I wish people like you should do something to make people realise the importance of forests. We too are trying our best to increase our forest cover in our country. Love from India 👍 😊
@@srivenkateshnarayanaswamy5858 India has a beautiful climate and forests 🙏 yeah, we are gonna have to take action soon! All across the world. And this year is elections and hopefully we will make a better choice. Much peace and love to 🇮🇳 ✌

Beautiful 😍 I love your documentaries ❤
Absolutely agonizing story, brilliantly told.
"Humans" .. The story of how ONE species destroyed an entire beautiful planet and all its inhabitants ...
Omg my heart when that huge tree was cute down! How many years it’s seen and lived through.. gone in seconds.
Incredibly selfish and shortsighted.
Everyone is to be blamed, those trees are exported to the more developed countries… US UK Norway New Zealand All big buyers.
Ooho so sad 😢 to watch such trees being cut ! Can't we develop without destroying nature heavily!
*cut
And houses built from???
Great documentary. It is easy to get addicted here.
informative and beautiful documentary.Thank you
First class,best and marvelous documentary.Thank you.25.9.2021.
Exactly Anu Viitala ! The Nature deserves respect! 🍀
I hope for generations the Amazon and forest be protected. It's a God's created natural wonder environment and humans should protect it by all means.
I wish that for all of the wild life that we have left. The little we do. So I could not agree more. Let's prey!

World leaders should start at the Amazon if they stop climate change
Those leaders are the greedy scums who are fueling corruption in every domain... "climate change" is just another business for their own neverending pockets 😑
Exactly
No, they should start with themselves, and their corporations before they feel like they can play god in other's worlds.
One of the very few untouched places on earth we must protect it at all costs.
You don’t know it’s untouched…

A lot of people are puting fire and trash at amazon so i dont think it is " untouched "
So get your gun and let’s go 😂

Please protect the Amazon!
Thumbs up to the documentary , would really admire to visit Amazon river and witness all these for myself
Lovely Documentary!
This is my favourite channel. Congratulations on such an amazing achievement, it is really a channel that produces quality content. I wish you a lot of success with the channel and happy life.
I love This Channel too Brother.
Great respect for the doctor
Excellently Shown
I got a chance to navigate this mighty river and saw some pink dolphins swimming back on 2019 going to almost the inner part in Itacotiara. There are cities along the jungle.
Outstanding!
Very good. I traveled along the Amazon between Manaus and Monte Alegre (just East of Santarem) for a few weeks in 2013. I was very aware of everything you show here - the soy crisis around Santarem especially. That big building along the river in Santarem has 'Cargill' printed on its roof in giant lettering, you didn't show that and I understand why. What you don't discuss is what we were told in that area especially: that the population pressure around Santarem is partially caused by the forced internal migration in the '70s, when people from poor and drought stricken NE Brazil were moved to the Amazon region 'to develop it'. But these people have no skills and no right to land. They live along these new roads and eke out an existence and they are of course eager to work on the soy farms. Anyway, just one of the many problems that this unique ecosystem faces. Thank you for a balanced insight
Oo ! What can be the solution to cease deforestation
Oh no way, Cargill? I never saw that international oliogopolist coming! *sarcastic*
Very interesting and very informative and beautiful
watching from.Philippine. . thanks to the vedio uploader .team...staff and all ...

I love this channel. Greetings from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 🇵🇬 🇵🇬
So beautiful place and nice deep about talk it naration i like it. Thank you
I enjoyed this video.
It's extremely beautiful but man kind will eventually destroy like almost everything else. We must all stand together and stop commercial ships from entering before something toxic spills into its precious waters.
That would be denying natives that live there, imported goods, food, etc. So pretty much that would hinder the growth and well being of the countries and citizens that live there.
Commercial ships cannot travel on the Amazon. They are too large!
@@bradleysmith9431 Thats a pretty common argument for economic liberalization, however at least in the case of the soy, it is nearly all export and certainly net export. Also the profit from said export is hardly going to the citizens, in fact didn't it keep saying how people's lives were destroyed when their forests were obliterated? That wasn't really coherent, but I am trying to say that the "natives" are not those who stand to benefit from export. More like Cargill.
This is depressing and sad to see such desecration of a beautiful land, people and animals.

We are lucky enough that mother nature is incapable of sueing us for abuse or else we will all pack up in jails 😔.

There was another record high water level this year in the Amazon.
No money, no salary, no atm, no bank, no loan, no boss, no punch card, no problem at all, these people living in harmony❤️
We dont know that. Where do you think most of them got their clothes from? And when the women talks about ordering another house built, who do you think coordinated that effort? What does she mean ordered? And as far as there always being child patients at the doctor's office I would suggest they start teaching them birth control or to start dating dolphins like that one chick. Lol. Also ask that lady selling herbs in her market if that product she was selling for men's hard ons would clean her filthy shirt? Oink Oink. Scratch Scratch. Lol. I think people would probably be surprised to find most of these so called simple peoples are living on charity. Charity from who? Charity from the same so called sick society that you or I might like to criticize. Lol. Dont kid yourself. And when the lady was showing you her garden of tomatoes etc again dont kid yourself. In her cupboard you will probably find an assortment of canned goods like alphagetti . LOL. Poverty sucks and while most of us in 1st world countries love and appreciate Nature, wildlife and beauty the truth is we have a tendency to exaggerate injustices, exaggerate environmental crisis, over glorify simple peoples lifestyles and convince ourselves we are part of the Evil empire or something while we through a camera lens look at the 3rd world. This kind of mindset seems to be projected from immaturity, the emotional and in many cases just plain failures and even from spoiled twits who grew up with everything but love handed to them. Ohhhh those rebels. Whatever. Dont jump to conclusions. Keep an open mind and experience life there to form a real opinion. Your assessment is a nice one but I'm not sure this film demonstrates this . Go live there. Lol . They might greet you with a fresh change of donated welfare clothes . But I doubt it. I have lived among the poor and indigenous. There is nothing wholesome or glorious about it. Lol. It's a ridiculous ignorant political imbalance of discernment we find ourselves living in the free world these days.

Always wanted to visit the amazon rainforest…anyone ever been before???
Nah but I have been to/ down many noteworthy rivers/ spring runs/ places in my notable home state of FL. Places still much bigger/ grander than myself, much to learn from nature. Can't say I know the amazon, but some things here do seem similar. The grander rivers of Florida (no not all of it is overdeveloped, yet at least. Some regions may be spared/ remain sparsely populated/ largely rural) are all pretty under threat. So there's blessings and curses with knowing, exploring and Loving these rivers in this doomed selfish human-centered world. Idk if I could handle the decline of the Amazon (already depressing enough knowing the grandest, most biodiverse wild remote river is in decline, let alone Antartica cannot be spared from being ruined by tourism impacts apparently-- not even sure whether to laugh or cry over that...) Anyways, yep. The grandest most pristine river in FL beloved by many has to be the Suwannee (some love the longest- St. John's river, but many boats on it, Jacksonville at the mouth/ very trashy, sturgeon there were killed out... still Loads of gators, good fishing, but it's largest tributary is still dammed somehow-- speaking of which that may be the 2nd or 3rd most beloved river in FL- the Ocklawaha. Which still has a pointless dam for Whatever reason. FL politicians don't care to fix it/ Putnam county is too poor. I don't care as much as I use to, too far from me for what it's worth it feels, most of the time. Nice jungle-like free-flowing river on some sections, but if the Ocklawaha's largest spring fed-river tributary (silver springs/ river) cannot be saved from overpumping/ nutrient increasing what difference is dismantling the dam going to do besides allow more fish/ manatee migrations and prevent a few springs from being drowned... anyways the Suwannee is pretty much the only major near pristine river remotely near mainland FL that has no dams, lots of springs, unspoiled on many levels. But still dying from too much agriculture and dairy presence, 1 phosphate mine (uses Tons of water daily) over time. Amazing in a way it is killing the wild untameable river, along with maybe some increased suburbanization here and there... but yeah, just keep in mind, blessings and curses. The closer you get to anything, the more you realized how doomed/ messed up current trends are. Highly reccomend staying at arm's length, have a variety of interests in life, Don't stake your sanity in matters Largely out of your control (sometimes we cannot help it. Such is Love/ life sometimes.... just sayin' in general, if you can help it xD... and Don't move to FL. I'm not just saying that because I'm a native to Tampa area and nearly unaffordable/ ruined almost by too much traffic, etc. It's overhyped and Not a paradise. Anyways, just had to slip that in. Gorgeous place to visit, meh place to live in unless you must...
THE AMAZON should be off limits. All of the climate change arguments should start here! Our ecosystem depends on it.
There are only five percent of old growth redwoods left in California. Bison? Yeah Americans should speak 🌲🌵🍄
Lol
I love this kind of life I have no more interesting this modern city

The wildest type of man known to history is the materially ambitious man. He reveres nothing, stops for nothing and ultimately is satisfied with nothing.
Nice
It’s great leave the nature to the nature
I don't understand how these people are not held accountable for environment crimes and against humanity too!!!
@fdcompdm the countries allow it, they contract companies to clear the land for oil exploration, and to make dams for electricity. The Indigenous tribes and their land are now protected hrough various groups. It is illegal to trespass on their land now!

This is the heart and veins of our planet, and support the surrounding trees and our Air we all need to breathe . We all know this ...So let stop the destruction of ourselves by destroying the actual thing we all need to live and survive worth more than gold, Jewels, and all the money ever made ...I think Re education or an army like Us forces deployed against deforestation will be the only way to stop it ...Did he say Bell end is the name of the town ??? pollution ,destruction, disease, and death ,, sounds like a hit song , !!!!! new band name Bell End ....Now lets Rock
Save nature and save life
great
the song that starts at 26:20 is beautiful
Long live the Amazon
There's a road and bridge to Iquitos now
That opening pic. Was a perfect horseshoe!
This is heart breaking 💔
Human GREED is what will finish this thing we called WORLD.
but like elsewhere in this world, all that does not stop people from breeding ..
I wish mother nature and the river would fight back.
Cutting the forest is the real reason the earth temperatures is rising
Well like they are in some places true they don't replant like we do here
The earth has been changing from the beginning and will continue to do so now that doesn't mean we help it along
Uh,much of Florida was once rainforest. Some areas still seemingly get some daily rain.
True,all over the world,,elligal loggers are the destractor of the earth,how the government can stop the loggers to stop cutting trees in the forest,if,the thruth is that some of the. Govt.officials are connected too or the financers,,,,,,wish they much think,they n thier family are connected too for the destruction n calamity of the earth,,,,,,we must week up,n make busines with out ɗestroying our forest
Too complicated for that conclusion. Too many factors
I get tired of this depressing info without a way we can be apart of a solution, maybe their isn’t one😢
Can someone explain to me how we know the Amazon River has a larger variety of fish than the Atlantic Ocean? I'm not claiming to be smart or anything but how do we know all the species of fish in Atlantic Ocean without exploring the majority of it? Thanks!
Lol, I wondered the same thing. I honestly don't believe it.
We don't know it, we're assuming
@Mithilesh M THANK YOU !! That actually makes sense. I really appreciate the time you took to answer my question. You rock, cheers.
Los océanos han sido explorados, por eso se afirma eso. La Amazonia es probablemente la región mas biodiversa del planeta, es muy antigua, por ello es que la fauna y la flora ha tenido tiempo de diversificarse tanto. Se dice que en un solo árbol pueden hallarse mas especies de hormigas que en todo Inglaterra, por poner un ejemplo.
We know open oceans have on average Much Lower biodiversity. More pressures for fish to grow faster, nowhere to hide. Basically ecological deserts, where most of the ocean is. Most biodiversity & biomass in the oceans are around reefs or upwelling sites, which of course are under threat/ collapsing as well, last I heard. Not impossible, just unlikely, given man's present knowledge from already very ambitious voyages & discoveries
Lovely from❤️❤️🇧🇩
Masha Allah very beautiful videos thanksso much sir very interesting God bless you all💖🇬🇧💖🇵🇰
So, so sobering.
Its sad. I hope this madness would end someday.
25:08 wdym "take advantage"?
Brazil is running into the problem that as more of the rainforest is converted into cattle pasture rainfall goes down and hydroelectric power can't be generated. Fortunately that should slow way down as Luna takes over. A further problem is channels get created by water buffalo trails which quicken the draining of wetlands. The good news is they have found secondary jungle growth quickly returns to biodiversity if its allowed.
Arapaima, non salt water sting ray also included as endanger in the amazon river
😢
These third world area is a hard life and have high mortality rates
The Rivers of the World will outlast us all. If we are the destruction of all: we will be the ones who die and the Rivers will continue on.
I hope there will be good leader to protect this river,,calling out brazil peru and bolivia
👍🔥🔥
Who has to watch this for geography
Doesn't the Midwest ( Illinios, Indiana etc.) have sufficient soybeans to supply the needs of the U.S. and even to export? Why does the U.S. need soybeans imported from Brazil? ( I assume soya is the same as soybeans - used for cosmetics, animal feed, oil and many products.)
The US and Brazil are the biggest exporters of soybeans. Yeah, I agree, what they said doesn't make sense. Farmers in US do rotate between corn and soybeans though so maybe Brazil does the same.
Soy has devastated their livelihood and it appears that the big boys are strong arming the little farmers. Small, rural farmers has been the hub for Americas agriculture and economy but its shifting vastly here as well. The small farmers are barely keeping their head above water. Going back to the soy industry, it’s my understanding that soy is very harmful for your body. Notice the narrator said they grew it for animals and fast food chains, that should be a red flag.
My heart hurts when I see those thousand year old trees cut for human pleasure! Those soy producers must be stopped! Let's all cut on our soy and meat consumption!!!!
Cut your consumption first, then continue just worrying about yourself!

Be useful to know the identities of the soya magnates, their financial backers and what products it ends up in. When you buy food with soy in it, do you know where it came from?
Nope! But and don't quote me on this, but another comment said the facility pictured was Cargill. That isn't really surprising since it is one of three grain companies that control something like 65% of the world's grains. Pretty much impossible to boycott that kind of power. And yeah, it ends up in everything.

@@AirSullivan504 literally
bro, bro. I'm a little more concerned with saving the forest we have now. If Jesus wants to wave a magic wand that'd be great - but then we'd destroy that one too.
