Documentary Description
Ross Kemp – Battle For The Amazon will look into the socio-economic
and environmental pressures facing the Amazon regions of Brazil and
Ecuador. The shows will explore the legacy of devastation created by a
burgeoning global desire for energy, food and mineral resources.
ROSS KEMP comments: “While filming in Nigeria last year, I saw
first-hand how much man’s greed has cost the environment. By traveling
to the Amazon, we hope to highlight some of the well-known and
lesser-known causes of deforestation. I am no environmentalist, but no
species has interfered with the earth’s temperature in such a short
space of time as we have. That damage as yet is unquantifiable. However,
the survival of the world’s rainforests, in particular the Amazon, is
crucial to the future of the human race.”
