The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

And they're sending them out to get mahogany and Spanish cedar and kenea and these really, really pricey hardwoods.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

That's all they really want.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

Yeah.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

And so it's selective logging.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

And so they'll come in.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

Now, the problem is after they selectively log it, in 10 years or so, once that is removed,

The Rich Roll Podcast

then you'll get people coming in and going, well, there's really nothing here, so we'll just burn down the forest.

And to a lot of people, whether it's marshland, desert, rainforest, unless there's human industry on being extracted from land, it's just useless space.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

It's wasteland.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

And so even though the rainforest is filled with species, to a person on the ground that's poor, they go, well, if we burn all that down, we could grow papayas over there.

And so like to their logic, you burn something priceless, like burning down a cathedral to like heat up a tuna melt.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

Like it doesn't make much sense.

The Rich Roll Podcast

And then your resource is destroyed because that forest is making your clean water.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

That forest is providing you with fish

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

and timber and everything else you could possibly want.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

It makes no sense.

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

And so these people aren't educated

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

But we come in and say, do you want 2X on your salary?

The Rich Roll Podcast
Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth

And they go, yeah.

The Rich Roll Podcast

And my kid has a problem with this.
