And in order, and in order, people always ask me, they're like, first, a lot of people ask, how could you buy the Amazon?

They're like, that doesn't make sense.

And it's like, well, I have bad news for you.

Somebody already owns it and we have to buy it from them so that they don't log it.

And so these landowners are going to sell their forest to the logging companies because owning 10,000 acres of the Amazon doesn't help you if you're a third generation jungle man.

And now it's just something that's up there and you live in the city.

And so they're going to contract either the narcos or the loggers or the miners to go out there and use it and they'll get a little money.

And those people, when they see these people, will kill them.

That's for sure.

And shotguns and machine guns in the end will win.

Not to mention the germs.

Again, we're talking about the last great jungle.

I always called it the last endless forest because this place is so incredibly remote.

And then the other question I always get is people say, well, why is this river so important?

And for my whole career, my whole time, 20 years in the Amazon, it's been

That it's massively intact forest.

Places like the ancient forest where the trees have never been cut.

So it's forest that's been growing since the dawn of time.

And thousands of species can be on a single shiwako tree.

And it's avatar on earth.
