As climate change remains an important issue affecting the lives of every person, we take a closer look into its effects in the Amazon Rainforest and the indigenous communities that live within. This podcast delves into the recent political developments in Brazil that affect the Amazon Rainforest, deforestation, how climate change has affected the ingenous Yanomami tribe that relies on the forest, and insights from Professor Sweeney at the University of Virginia on this topic.
