Global News published this video item, entitled “Family of British journalist missing in Amazon rainforest calls on Brazil to intensify search” – below is their description.
Family members of a British journalist who went missing along with an Indigenous expert in a remote and lawless area of the Amazon rainforest are calling on the Brazilian government to intensify its search.
Journalist Dom Phillips, 57, and Bruno Pereira were last seen in the riverside community of Sao Gabriel on Sunday, June 5. They were travelling in the Javari Valley, a vast region bordering Peru that is home to the world’s largest number of uncontacted Indigenous people and is threatened by illegal miners, loggers and hunters, as well as coca-gangs that make the raw material for cocaine.
The disappearance of the two men, who both had years of experience working in the Amazon, has sparked global concern.
