Your baby might get stolen.

You know, I mean, imagine the bot flies and the things that they must put up with.

It's just, I mean, what we experienced in, what, three days of living out with modern camping gear and headlamps and a sense of direction, and they're doing none of that.

You put us out there naked?

a very different story, so.

There must be.

There's many things they must have.

They must have a belief system.

They probably have amazing origin stories.

It would be amazing to know what things they have accurately and inaccurately guessed about us, about the outside world.

I mean, they've never heard of the country they live in or of World War II or any of it.

And so seeing them come across the beach was surreal because it's like this aperture into history.

They probably drew this, like, he's got hair all over his face and a huge nose, and they tell their children.

You don't get to control the myths.

Yeah, God only knows.

But I mean, it's so interesting.

So now in that 130,000 acres that we have, we know, and this is what we're

we're sort of we sort of have to come out of the closet with this like we are now protecting these people and the only way to do that is to make sure that they're not

contacted let alone that they don't get machine guns shot at them by the narcos or that crazy you know hippie gringos don't go down there thinking they're gonna you know join join the the coolest commune on earth so how much of the land that they move about is within 130,000 acres of rainforest you've been able to save and how much of it is not hmm

Most of the rest, most of that 200,000 that we're still trying to protect is territory that is theirs.
