About :
Documentary by Bettina Ehrhardt in collaboration with Thomas Hagenbrock and Michael Schucht. The so-called “flying rivers” are currents of moisture that originate in the Amazon rainforest and supply all of Brazil with water, including the southernmost regions of the country, reaching as far as Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. This natural phenomenon is under threat if deforestation of the tropical forests continues. If the Amazon becomes a steppe, the “flying rivers” will stop flowing, which will have consequences not only for Brazil, but also for the entire climate of the Earth. Brazil, the country with the largest water reserves on the planet, is already suffering from long and persistent droughts, resulting in rationing in its large cities. Agriculture is an economic activity that depends on this ecosystem service for its existence and at the same time it also represents the greatest driving force behind illegal deforestation in the Amazon. Transforming this vicious cycle into a virtuous cycle is only possible through the viability of sustainable economic alternatives, the efficient implementation of public preservation and restoration policies, and solid engagement by society.
