photo by @chamiltonjames / Charlie Hamilton James - This week I have been working with a brave and dedicated group of fire fighters in the eastern Amazon. They protect the indigenous reserve of Arariboia, home to the Awã and the Guajaja people, from forest fires. Fire season here is just coming to an end as the first rains of the wet season arrive. This year has been a very busy time for the fire fighters who have tackled huge blazes in the territory. Armed with minimal equipment they have developed techniques and strategies to contain the fires but many get out of hand and burn huge areas of forest. The forest here is special; it is home to isolated Awã - tribes living in voluntary isolation from the outside world; often romantically described as ‘uncontacted’. The aim of the fire fighters is to protect their land and the land of the isolated people who’s rights they value enormously - even though they have never met them. The crews are made up of indigenous Guajaja and IBAMA fire fighters. This shot shows a manioc field on fire - many people in the area clear cut forest to grow manioc, they then burn the area to clear the dead wood before planting crops. This often gets out of control and burns the surrounding forest. Fortunately in this instance the fire was kept under control. On assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック in Brazil
