Sea Change Radio

Over the past fifty years, around 17% of the Ama­zon rain­for­est has been destroyed, accord­ing to the World Wildlife Fund, but as this week’s guest on Sea Change Radio explains, with fires and defor­esta­tion out of con­trol, the sit­u­a­tion could get even worse before we see any sig­nif­i­cant improve­ment. We speak to Chris­t­ian Poiri­er of Ama­zon Watch to get a clear­er pic­ture of this large­ly man-made dis­as­ter in Brazil. While some steps to con­trol the fires have been made recent­ly by the Brazil­ian gov­ern­ment, ram­pant defor­esta­tion con­tin­ues unabat­ed. Poiri­er gives us a clos­er glimpse into the agribusi­ness giants that are involved in the dev­as­ta­tion, what his orga­ni­za­tion is doing to help stop it, and tells lis­ten­ers what they can do to get involved in the strug­gle. Then, we take a peek into the Sea Change Radio archives and hear Kevin Walk­er talk about what he calls our grand food bargain.
