BBC Our World - Anarchy in the Amazon (2021)

Under cover of Covid, the Amazon rainforest is under attack. Deforestation is at levels not seen for more than a decade. Brazil's president, Jair Bolsonaro, talks of opening the forest up to development while the environmental police are under attack from loggers.

Our World has obtained a recording of the environment minister talking about using the cover of Covid to 'change all the rules' in the Amazon. Justin Rowlatt goes on a mission to find out how a tribe he visited a decade ago is faring in the face of this assault.
