The Death of the Jaguar II
The cutting of the Amazon jungle is an attack on a healthy world climate and as a result, the very air you and I breathe. Chainsaws and axes destroy millions of acres of virgin forests every year and raze the nurturing home of the Indian populations and destroy untold animal species. That touches our lives. You will identify with Neide, the heroine, who battled to protect the rain forest, the Indians, and the animals that make it home. Other government agencies fought her efforts, for they were more interested in graft and power, than protecting the Amazon Basin. In the end she won. This is the powerful human take of an unlikely heroine, who won over corruption in her own department and influenced the national government so that years later it passed laws to slow the destruction of the rain forest and to protect the rights of the Indians. Whether you need knowledge of the violence that exists across areas of the Amazon Basin, or a dash of courage that comes from the story of Neide's winning against tremendous odds, The Death of the Jaguar Part II is for you.
