Can Indigenous Knowledge Save the World?

Indigenous peoples are among the worst affected by rainforest deforestation. What can art do in the face of this destruction? We show solutions from Cameroon, plus how artists in Brazil are fighting to save the Amazon. The rainforest is on fire. Profiteering and greed are destroying one of the world's most important ecosystems. The Amazon, the green lung of the planet, has itself become a CO2 emitter, fueling climate change.
