Survival Worldwide is deeply saddened on the loss of life of Pire\u2019i Aw\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Pire\u2019i lived along with his household within the Aw\u00e1 Indigenous territory, within the jap Brazilian Amazon. His sudden loss of life, after he fell from a tree whereas searching, has shocked his relations and all who knew him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Pire\u2019i used to be on the forefront of his individuals\u2019s struggle to evict unlawful loggers and ranchers from their forest. He tirelessly denounced the invasions and the federal government\u2019s inaction, expressing deep anger and fear for the well being and survival of his relations. As he stated to Survival on one in all our visits to his neighborhood, through the decades-long marketing campaign with the Aw\u00e1 for his or her land to be protected: \u201cI don\u2019t understand how we’re going to eat.. every little thing is being destroyed.. the entire space.. this land is mine, it’s ours. We Indians stay within the forest. That is Indian land. And we don\u2019t go after the white individuals.. right here we had deer, wild pigs, turtles, the loggers have killed all of the turtles, the fires are killing them, they will kill every little thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n He was extraordinarily involved for the way forward for the uncontacted Aw\u00e1, who keep away from contact with outsiders and shall be worn out if their forest isn\u2019t protected. \u201cI don\u2019t like loggers. The loggers stated, \u2018We need to kill the Indians,\u2019\u201d he advised Survival.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n In 2014, following relentless strain from the Aw\u00e1 and their allies, the Brazilian authorities despatched a whole bunch of police into the Aw\u00e1 Territory to take away the loggers and ranchers. On the finish of the police operation Pire\u2019i used to be taken up in a helicopter to see the outcomes, and was elated and overwhelmed to see that the loggers and settlers had gone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u201cI went up in a helicopter. We flew round and I noticed our land with out white individuals, just for the Aw\u00e1. All of us collectively achieved this. You reside distant however you helped us lots. I\u2019m comfortable now. All the pieces\u2019s nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Pirei\u2019s love of the forest, optimism and willpower shone by means of to all who knew him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n You possibly can see Pire\u2019i speaking of his pleasure on the removing of loggers and ranchers from his territory on this video we produced after the marketing campaign victory.<\/em> \u201cWe’re comfortable now. We sing and we hunt, deep within the forest\u2026 Our households are comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Our ideas are with Pire\u2019i\u2019s household and relations at this extraordinarily troublesome time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Beneath is an extract from one in all our many conversations with Pire\u2019i over time, when the logging invasion was at its peak:<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u201cThe loggers are destroying all of the land. The loggers are going to destroy this entire space. They’re chopping down wooden and they will destroy every little thing.

<\/p>\n \u201cThe loggers are going to destroy this entire space. They’re going to burn every little thing. The turtles, the paca, the armadillos\u2026 the turtles have all died, the paca have died, every little thing is being destroyed, every little thing is dying.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u201cWe’re all going to go hungry, the youngsters shall be hungry, my daughter shall be hungry, and I\u2019ll be hungry too. There\u2019ll be nothing within the forest\u2026 the loggers come right here with their vehicles and so they take the timber away. The loggers are destroying every little thing in my land. The vehicles are available, they take all of the timber, the vehicles make a whole lot of noise, and the wild pigs run away.. I can\u2019t discover any recreation any extra, I can\u2019t discover something. The kids are hungry, all the youngsters are hungry, what are they going to eat?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u201cThe loggers\u2019 vehicles come into the forest, vehicles, automobiles, 4x4s, many autos come right here and so they take the timber away. Then there\u2019s nothing left, all of the animals run away, there may be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing in any respect\u2026 the youngsters are hungry, the youngsters are hungry and I’m indignant with the loggers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
