Between 8 Nov 2021 and April 2022 AL Jazeera published a serial of
articles (except one i.e. an Al Jazeera team) all by the
Canadian-French and better said Cree/Iroquois journalist Brandi
Morin about femicides of Canadian Indigenous women and girls of which each word is so
heartbreaking that it takes a lot of courage to read the whole serial. Still I challenge you to do so! I divided it according to the

Dom Phillips obituary.
Brazil-based UK journalist and author who championed the role of
Indigenous people in saving the Amazon.
In recent years the journalist Dom Phillips, who was killed aged 57
during a reporting trip to the Amazon, had become convinced that
Indigenous communities played an essential role in protecting the
rainforest and stabilising the climate. It was for this reason that he
accompanied Bruno Pereira, a Brazilian expert on uncontacted tribes,
into the Javari valley, to observe how territory is demarcated and
protected against predatory intrusions by illegal loggers, miners,
fishermen and drug traffickers – threats that had grown more intense
during the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro. The two men were ambushed on
their boat journey home and executed in the forest, prompting demands
for greater protection of environmental defenders and the journalists
who report on them. Dom, a versatile freelance correspondent with a
passion for social justice, had been writing ever deeper stories about
Brazil, his adopted home of 15 years, in a wide range of outlets,
including the Washington Post, the Times, the Financial Times, the
energy newswire Platts, the football magazine FourFourTwo and, most
frequently in recent years, the Guardian.
....
In 2018, he made his first trip to the Javari valley with Bruno to see
how Indigenous communities protect their land. It was a transformative
experience, coinciding as it did with the election of Bolsonaro, who
encouraged land invasions, forest clearance and illegal mining. At a
press conference the following year, Dom asked the president about the
surge in forest fires and drew a fierce response: “The Amazon is
Brazil’s, not yours,” Bolsonaro shot back in a clip that went viral in
rightwing circles. Dom felt he had been set up, and that the president
was making life more dangerous for journalists. Undaunted, he threw
himself into rainforest coverage with ever more vigour and took a year
off to start writing a book, How to Save the Amazon. He burned through a
grant from the Alicia Patterson Foundation on reporting trips, and he
and Alę had to move from expensive Rio to cheaper Salvador, and borrow
money from his family in Britain. This was to be his deepest dive yet
into Brazil, an attempt to understand why poverty and politics were
driving people into illegal activity, and to focus on solutions,
especially those provided by Indigenous communities. He and Bruno were
last seen alive as they set off up the Javari valley. Their deaths
highlighted the causes they championed, and the image of their
side-by-side portraits was taken up nationally and internationally, as
when the Brazilian singer-songwriter Caetano Veloso carried it on stage.
Alę believed her music-loving husband would have been delighted to know
he shared a stage with Caetano, but also wryly amused at the fuss: <He
is now a hero, but Dom had no ego so if he is looking at this, he would
think it is not for me, this is for the rainforest and the people who
preserve it. The attention would make him happy for that reason.>
She survives him, along with Sian and Gareth.

2022>>
