Children of the Amazon

For countless generations, the Amazon
rainforest provided a home to the Surui and Negarote people who lived in what they called "forest time"- utterly beyond the realm of contemporary human life. Their only contact with the "outside" world was through rubber tappers. Today, footpaths gave way to a road and then a highway cutting through 2000 miles of forest. Lush forest has now been clear-cut and burned, deadly diseases have killed thousands of Indians, and "forest time" has suffered an
irreversible transformation.
