It is hard not to feel despair at the overwhelming images of rainforest destruction. But while documenting the region’s remarkable wildlife for the making of Amazon Alive, film-maker Christian Baumeister has also witnessed a changing mood: a growing belief that it is more valuable as a living forest than being stripped for its wood and minerals. Christian discovers that an increasing respect for the Amazon’s natural wonders can translate into hope for the future.
