Astonishing and heartbreaking in equal measure, the discoveries currently being made while the likes of Jair Bolsonaro’s government in Brazil burns the forest to the ground in a display of naked greed and indifference to environmental damage, just like his fascist soulmate dTrumph.
Plus it’s got Lara Croft as its presenter! Well, Ella Al-Shamahi, paleoarchaeologist and stand-up comic! Be still, my beating heart!
Where is it aired ? My sort of thing !
Really enjoying it. The cliff art is amazing and the discussion of the impacts of novel virus's on the indigenous people seems all the more relatable now.
Its good, isn't it?! There's plainly a huge amount of history to be uncovered there. Just a shame that many of the peoples and cultures that have clung on for the past 500yrs are on the brink of pushed out of existence in the name of progress.
C4, got it !
That catabiner is just to make her look intrepid.
Thanks op will do!
Fascinating stuff I assume quite large areas must have been cleared for farming and building work at the peak a few things spring to mind will the forest regenerate again once cleared this time round?or will it have been too massively raped & denuded. Will any of this put pressure on (any)government to change tack and preserve the forest you know for the global benefit

With the sort of populist right-wing administrations currently in charge, like Bolsonaro’s, any sort of pressure is heavily resisted, basically, ‘the forest belongs to us, we’ll do what we please with it, bugger-off’.

Maybe you should watch it, see the sort of places she’s exploring.
Not watched it, is it a series?
@CZ - I did watch it. It was very good.
