OC Pride
Rory, Fenuxe, Eze and Bruno from the magic realm
Keeping it to my OCs means breaking apart Fen and Davin which does pain me but the new kids are also cute. Maybe I’ll draw some DavFen later to make up for it.

The Guardian
June 1, 2023
On 5 June 2022, Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips were killed for protecting the Amazon rainforest. A new collaboration aims to continue what they started
Forest defenders should not be killed for exposing crimes. Journalists should not be killed for reporting facts.
But, one year ago, the Guardian was devastated by the awful news that in the Amazon rainforest, two lives had been taken on the frontline of the battle to protect the planet.
Bruno Araújo Pereira, a renowned defender of the rights of Brazil’s Indigenous peoples, and Dom Phillips, an outstanding reporter, long-term Guardian contributor and friend to many who work here, disappeared while researching a book on how to save the rainforest.
In the weeks that followed, when their bodies were discovered and our worst fears of their deaths confirmed, everyone at the Guardian was horrified. And from that horror was born a determination to continue the work they were doing, covering what our global environment writer, Jonathan Watts, has called “the global war against nature”.
Today, we launch the Bruno and Dom project, a year-long collaborative investigation coordinated by Forbidden Stories that involves more than 50 journalists from 16 media organisations in 10 countries around the world.
Together, we have worked with three aims in mind.
First, to honour and pursue the work of Bruno and Dom. Bruno was totally committed to the traditional peoples of the Amazon and defending their ways of life, and Dom’s brave and humane journalism did so much to bring the stories of Brazil and Latin America to a global audience. We have picked up the threads of their unfinished stories, chased down leads and tried to carry on doing what they can no longer do.
Second, to remind everyone of the beauty, importance and fragility of the Amazon. Watts, who moved to live in the rainforest in 2021 and is the Guardian’s first journalist to be permanently based there, has written about it being the heart of the world – “not the lungs, as is often mistakenly claimed”. But now it beats much less strongly than it did, and than it must, if human beings on this planet are to have a future.
Third, to suggest ideas for how to save the Amazon, and, in time, inspire positive change. This was a central focus in all of Dom’s work, and something that much Guardian journalism strives for.
The Bruno and Dom project, over four days of publishing, will include:
The latest in the criminal investigation into their deaths, including the perspective of friends and family. Three men are currently being held in prison, and police have named a fourth as the alleged mastermind, while the former head of Brazil’s Indigenous protection agency under President Jair Bolsonaro has been charged on the basis that he ignored warnings over the risk of bloodshed in the Javari valley.
The last photographs taken of Bruno and Dom before they were killed, and what they tell us.
A wider exploration of how organised crime, including illegal fishing, hunting, logging and mining, is taking over the Amazon.
An investigation into the global companies making billions from extracting raw materials from the rainforest, including how beef is eating up the Amazon, and the extent of deforestation.
A detailed analysis of solutions for how to save the rainforest.

Não podemos mais aceitar que defensores da natureza sejam assassinados no Brasil. Segundo a Global Witness, o aumento de ameaças e mortes tem sido documentado desde 2018. Somos o 4º país mais perigoso para indígenas e ambientalistas no mundo e devemos nos envergonhar do tamanho descaso da Justiça e do governo, fazendo pressão por ação concreta e mudança.
Bruno Pereira formava equipes de vigilância indígena contra criminosos na fronteira com o Peru. Nessa viagem, acompanhava o jornalista britânico Dom Philips durante apuração para um livro sobre as violações que ocorrem na Terra Indígena do Vale do Javari, território onde vivem povos de recente contato e isolados.
Nos solidarizamos com as famílias e amigos das vítimas que têm se arriscado para defender a Amazônia e a floresta em pé, por defenderem seus territórios, o direito à terra, seus meios de subsistência e o meio ambiente. Estamos em luto por Bruno Pereira, Dom Philips e por assassinatos de indígenas, ribeirinhos, quilombolas, extrativistas, lideranças de movimentos populares, defensores do meio ambiente e defensores dos direitos humanos que estão na floresta e correndo risco diariamente.
Que o governo brasileiro atue sem demora para responsabilizar os culpados e para impedir que esse clima de terror continue. Quem mandou matar? Por quê?

The outpost is intermittently frequented by members of Univaja, the Indigenous rights collective for whom [Bruno] Pereira had worked. But it is currently manned by a lone resident: a 76-year-old Peruvian named Juan da Silva and his black labrador mutt. Equipped with a torch, a fishing rod, a few cans of food and occasionally a radio, he fears for his life every night.
"I want to get out of here,” says Da Silva. “I don’t want to die. I want to live.”
The outpost is where [Dom] Phillips and Pereira slept the night before they were killed. Da Silva points to the hooks that held their hammocks, bolted to wooden posts under a small porch.
Pereira had slept on the right side of the building, which overlooks a small estuary used by illegal fisherman to enter a lake with thousands of valuable pirarucu fish – and a pathway into Indigenous land that evades a government checkpoint a few miles upstream.
"The fishermen get very angry if we don’t let them through,” Da Silva says, pointing to the stream, where a shaggy crested Amazon kingfisher sits on a branch scouring the water. “Sometimes I can’t stop them, because if I did they would kill me.”
Such are the contrasts in this underreported part of the Amazon rainforest where magnificent natural beauty has become a backdrop to increasing violence and impunity. It is the setting for a battle over access to resources that has intensified following the election of Brazil’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, in 2018.
Law enforcement officials say the Javari Valley, an area the size of Portugal and home to the world’s largest concentration of uncontacted Indigenous tribes, is now Brazil’s second largest drug trafficking route, where the interwoven illicit industries of fishing, logging and mining have proliferated over the past decade.
Pereira had worked with villagers here, trying to steer them away from illegal fishing – many of the river’s species are subject to strict regulation to manage stocks, and it is prohibited to fish in Indigenous territory further upstream. But a single pirarucu, one of the world’s largest freshwater fish, which grows to over 100 kilograms, can be sold for $1,000 at market price, while a single Amazon river turtle can be sold for $200.
Locals say illegal activities have become commonplace in recent years. One villager recently spotted a boat with three men carrying shotguns, laden with illegally caught fish. Illegal fishermen use small boats, laden with ice, to navigate into Indigenous land under cover of darkness, according to a report by Univaja, and then return to deliver their catches to larger boats waiting on the main river.

“Trata-se do tipo de amigo que mesmo as mais simples anedotas carregam uma lição. E hoje, diante dessa tragédia, penso na melhor lição que recebi de Dom. Embora pareça banal, a de ter curiosidade por tudo e ao mesmo tempo ser capaz de rir de tudo, até de você mesmo, tenha sido a mais importante delas.”
