Killing trees is murder: Zé Cláudio Ribeiro at TEDxAmazonia

[@snowwolfsabertooth]

@modasemfrescura don't be ashamed. rather, stand with him and defend the forests. Be proud that there IS someone like him doing what's right - and be even prouder that you are doing what you believe is right!

[@annerosemay]

Bless you for your sacrifice and your love and teaching use to be warriors for earth our mother and Life itself. Viva la Foresta!

[@renatoberribille]

Vendo esse tipo de palestra me dá uma mistura de sentimentos de inspiração e impotência. Zé Cláudio jamais será esquecido

[@ElaineCimino]

My heart goes out to his family. He was murdered for the work he was passionate about and is a marytr for the Mother Earth for which he tried to protect. He will be missed but not forgotten.

[@laysmaximiano4624]

Gente. Encantada com esse homem. Até me emociono. Lindo de mais.

[@ingridcamilodossantos9085]

Foi assassinado junto com sua esposa três meses depois da gravação deste vídeo, 24 de maio de 2011, em Nova Ipixuna (PA).

Gracias a Dios por la vida de Ze Claudio y María que supieron darle sentido a su "anel do tucum" hasta que la muerte los unió más. Gracias por su martirio que nos abre los ojos a la despiadada voracidad de un sistema que acaba con toda forma de vida. Que su Pascua Eterna nos anime a rescatar el profetismo ecológico para defender la dignidad de la Amazonia y la gente de la Amazonía en "pie".

[@FireVortex720]

What an inspiration! R.I.P Zé Cláudio Ribeiro, Your legacy will live on forever!

[@annerosemay]

Bless you for your sacrifice and your love and teaching us to be warriors for earth our mother and Life itself. Viva la Foresta!

[@felipeandrecarvalhodesouza1833]

6 anos após ainda me lembro desse vídeo. Hoje estou relembrando o exemplo dele. Sem o conhecê-lo pessoalmente sinto saudades. "Por mais pessoas como ele..." His death was not in vain!

[@antoniorocha9045]

Salve João Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva

[@iamkeir]

So tragic, a modern-day hero.

[@MediteSuaVida]

💗💗💗

[@Zhadjit]

A week later, Obede Loyola Souza was shot dead - in Pará. And on July 24, rural farmer Francisco Oliveira Soares was murdered in what police ruled was a conflict over land rights. Guess in which state?

[@MrGakn]

First reformed brought me here!

[@yerirose]

por lo que nos rodea no dejare de luchar y por gente como el que habito la tierra no me rendire al ibtentar de unificar todas las luchas

[@yerirose]

ho mi, estuvo en amazonia. Me escuela lo hace cada año con TED y siempre he querido ir a hablar de lucha social. Sobre todo por que en mi estado son bien lentos para eso

[@silentseeker1]

We must all stand up and fight against the evil that is being done to our planet. United we stand, divided we fall. I say Let's Stand!

[@Majabea]

Apresentaçăo maravilhosa. Esse homen falava com coraçăo!

[@phillips78]

A true set of heroes both José and Maria. Shame on the people responsible for their deaths, may justice happen and be swift in Brazil.

[@kyle87t]

This man is a hero.

[@dustmighte]

Note - I'm not talking about him though, his bravery is immense and he died a very sad example of how little we care about each other as world communities!

[@urbanclothingcompany]

LARGA VIDA.

[@mario-so2pe]

gigante!

[@RageAgainsTheMachin]

Legends never die......... RIP: Zé Claudio and Maria

[@mnishimura7]

RIP. Seu discurso tem um impacto enorme, de alguem que nasceu, viveu e morreu pela Amazonia. Temos muito o que aprender contigo.

[@chachaprem]

[@SilentRio]

Let's make his killing worth MORE than the money the fiends that ordered or profited his & his wife deaths. I had never heard of him, the organisation or taken interest in the struggle before hearing about this crime. I hope the this event does MORE good for the cause and DAMAGE the illegal and WRONG trade the opposite of what these killings intended. RiP soldier. Be with the Forest and protect it in another spiritual form because yours will live on.

[@izabelcristinadasilva8578]

Parabéns, és um guerreiro da floresta!!!

[@modasemfrescura]

I feel very ashamed to be brazilian, today. It's a great loss

[@DonMomo]

Joao Claudio Ribeiro da Silva was a great man!!

[@geakerson]

RIP. Greed will never stop until the world is destroyed!

Crónica de una muerte anunciada

[@dustmighte]

Jesus, good people do need to step up their game against the leechers of the world.

[@Zhadjit]

On May 26, Brazil’s Senate approved changes to the Forest Code that rolled back forest protections in place since 1965. The rural bloc of cattle ranchers and farmers, a stronghold in Pará, wields much power in Congress. Less than 24 hours later, forest activist José Claudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife, Maria Elena do Espírito Santo, were murdered in Marabá, Pará, their ears cut off as a mark of execution. This began a chain of killings that has continued unabated and unpunished:

[@Kim-Ohio-Fuzz]

Tu meurs toi et ta femme, les arbres se meurent nous mourrons tous. Protègez nous d'où vous nous voyez nous misérables vivants. Eternité à l'Amazonie. RESPECT José and Maria Vive la forêt!

[@Zhadjit]

On May 27, land rights activist Adelino Ramos was killed in Rondonia. The next day, Eremilton dos Santos, a possible witness to Da Silva's death, was murdered in Pará. On June 1, the day IBAMA approved Belo Monte’s construction, Joao Vieira dos Santos (alias Marcos Gomes da Silva), another Pará forest activist, was killed.

[@clara-rq9my]

imortal.

[@charbonou2]

Please send me a message if you know of anywhere this is available with English subtitles. thanks!

[@smatheus]

Can we learn from the death of this Hero? RIP Zé Cláudio Ribeiro.

[@tyniecraft]

top documentary films .c om - Murder in the Amazon. a documentary about the murder of this man and how his message still continues to influence all

[@tyniecraft]

this man IS Brazilian. There is nothing wrong with them, there is something wrong with taking what does not belong to you.

[@otacon451]

@elen121 there is a CC (closed caption button) right below the video. I almost missed it also!

[@mamoahina]

But realize that it's not necessarily the people's fault, it's MONEY. What's worse, is that EVERYONE will make the excuse that it is NOT the case, but why else would he be killed? He was for preservation & what caused the problem of taking that away were these loggers, these CORPORATIONs & this man stood in their way. Logically these corps need to resolve that issue so it was easier to take Zé out of the picture, & that's what they did.

[@naonis]

RIP

[@dariopy]

@theAV8R It has subtitles already. Just click on the CC button down there.

[@Ricardorocha1990]

O que o cara faz com a natureza é um exemplo, ele é inteligente, ele é sábio e tem conhecimento o suficiente; Pena que morreu, pena que foi só mais uma vítima da violencia. Não adianta prender os assissinos dele, assim como os assassinos do Chico e da Dorothy, deve- se ir além, afinal, esses madeireiros não são os únicos a matarem a floresta, então, prendê- los e não proteger a floresta é só tampar o sol com a peneira. A justiça tem que valer na morte e na proteção da natureza e seus protetores.

[@silentseeker1]

When will it end? Treat the earth as if it is a part of us not seperate.

[@tyniecraft]

Yes I am.

[@imoprahrich]
