Reporting from the Amazon, as we can both attest, is fraught with danger at every corner.
While leaving Indigenous territory on one of our recent reporting trips, we were stopped at gunpoint by military police. Officers searched our bags and personal belongings while firing questions at us.
Only after they realised we were international reporters did they let us go with a warning: “If I were you, I’d be careful wandering around over here, these are dangerous places, especially for journalists like you.”
