We investigate what is at the heart of the Amazon burning and meet the people risking their lives to defend the land.
Brazil has seen a dramatic increase in the number of fires in the Amazon with more than 80,000 fires so far this year alone.
This past summer, the world watched in horror as images of flames engulfing swaths of land in the world's largest rainforest came out, leading to global calls for boycotts over President Jair Bolsonaro's handling of the crisis.
The fires have come as deforestation has risen over the past years and is increasing even more as the Brazilian government weakens environmental regulations.
