do you read in the hammock before you go to sleep
A tailor in Altamira invented a marvelous technology
Now it’s much easier because I have a Kindle with a light
because the rainforest demands one’s total presence
I read The Navel of the World by Fran Baniwa
in which she answers to how whites have constructed the anthropology of her people
I have been writing so that I do not die and do not kill.” An impressive statement
What was it like growing up in a small town in southern Brazil
That phrase comes from an event that happened when I was five or six years old
was the first person in the family to learn to read
He founded a university that was considered subversive; and I was the daughter of that communist
He created a school in a rural area that ascribed to the Paulo Freire method
with a calendar that respected harvest times
a curriculum created in collaboration with small farmers… And the mayor
who was of the same political party as the dictatorship
don’t be sad.” I never forgot that condescending phrase
I’m going to burn down City Hall.” I knew it was wrong
but I grew up in a world of idealism and struggle
a way of starting a fire without committing a crime
It’s been a while since I’ve written strict reporting
You say that the Amazon traps you like an anaconda
The second way was an Indigenous person named Xingu
who Funai (the National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples) brought to the town to give speeches
He was placed in such pitiful accommodations that we invited him over and he stayed at our house for a while
from a text that I had previously intuited as violent
The Amazon came to me through those experiences
I traveled there for the first time in 1997 and
as [Carlos] Drummond de Andrade’s poetry says
which you call “the frontline of the most important battle of our times.” What was your motivation
For a decade, I had closely followed families who had been expelled from the rainforest by [the construction of the hyrdroelectric dam] Belo Monte
That gave me another perspective on the climate crisis
I understood that we were in a moment that required creating things that did not exist
I met a person who lived next to the river named Raimunda Silva
That’s the best way: it’s slow and you don’t make any noise
she had seen the island where she lived with her husband
had set fire to the house with all their belongings inside
asking forgiveness for not having been able to save them
She also told me that her husband had been to the Norte Energía office to negotiate
but what are you going to negotiate when you have no choice
and tried to convince his family that he wanted to immolate himself on the island to draw the world’s attention
We put together a team of psychoanalysts to listen to the suffering of the displaced
but I thought: “I defend the notion that the Amazon
the site of life — not the market — are the center of the world
Either we make a radical shift when it comes to what the center and periphery are
or we have no options when it comes to facing the climate crisis.”
You like to define yourself as a listener first
What do you learn from the rainforest communities
When I looked at the rainforest from here [São Paulo]
I remember the first fire I lived through there
That’s when I understood that I was seeing holocausts
Because each tree is a planet connected to another planet
insects dying… Some with intolerable suffering
it only falls into silence when it has died
And it shows the extent to which absolutely everything is connected
Understanding interdependence is quite transformational
I share my house with many other beings that live with me
toads… There is a type of ant that comes by once or twice a year; one day you wake up and there they are
we try to drive them out if they are poisonous
I also learned that one of the principal tools of struggle
there are weeks that almost every day something very brutal happens that affects people I know
It is impossible to deny that we live in a war
Without anywhere to shut the door and hide
I am in the banziero (an Amazonian term for the point at which the river turns into a vortez)
[Anthropologist] Eduardo Viveiros de Castro says that the Indigenous people in Brazil lived through the end of the world in 1500
and that perhaps they can teach us how to live after the end of the world
Don’t you sometimes drown in the magnitude of the challenge
Even though the Amazon is in the middle of the storm
A recent apocalyptic headline: “2023 is the hottest year in millennia.” And yet
You argue that the solution for the planet is for us to Amazon ourselves
and I see people living as if there was no tomorrow [she laughs]
as if I were in an architectural model or a resort
I like [the philosopher] Bruno Latour’s saying: “Denialism is the tool elites have found to make the poor pay the climate bill.” Trump and Bolsonaro
Capitalism has destroyed our survival instinct
No matter how much information people have
no matter how much the house is falling down on us
even if there is no need for scientific reports
People continue living as if this were a phase that will pass
You chose Altamira because you are convinced that there
one can catch a glimpse of what our future will look like in years
Belo Monte caused a kind of localized climate crisis that in 10 years will radically change the landscape
and they were flung to the cities’ peripheries
Altamira became the most violent city in Brazil
There was a wave of suicides of children who had become teenagers in that disturbed territory
Do you miss hearing Greta Thunberg’s voice as loudly
The movement that Greta inspired is fundamental
I imagine myself in the place of her generation
it must feel so desperate to see your life in the hands of adult naysayers
I keep company with the young people of the rainforest
we celebrated the fact that the Amazon is the center of the world
We invited the activists of Fridays for Future
Pussy Riot… to come from Europe to the heart of the rainforest
It was a very powerful encounter with the leaders of the rainforest
It materialized the displacement of that which is the center and the periphery
We are not going to get out of this abyss with the same Eurocentric
We need to place the values of the peoples of the rainforest at the center
Is that why you hold that the fight for the rainforest encompasses battles against patriarchy
One cannot understand the climate crisis without understanding that it is intersected by issues of race
Women are leading the struggle in the Amazon because some of the men have been corrupted
How did your experiment of using gender neutral language in this book go
We need to find a language in which we all fit
I understood how ridiculous we were the first time I saw bioluminescent fungi
Fungi has been making sophisticated connections for billions of years
Brazil was seen as a planetary environmental villain
Any answer must start with the fact that Bolsonaro committed genocide. Defeating a person who commits genocide in the election was the most important thing. Lula gives mixed messages. Brazil has everything it needs to be an ecological power, but he wants it to be that while continuing to produce more oil
The introduction to millions of Brazilians to a new middle class came at the expense of nature
without structural changes made to the distribution of income
Lula is a man who was forged in the mindset that oil is the country’s salvation
is still living in the 20th century and has not yet come to understand what the climate crisis means
The right wing is not even talking about it
For the dictatorship and all subsequent governments
The drama that we are living the worst emergency of our era on this home-planet with an extremely predatory ultraright and a left that does not understand the 21st century

Neotropical brown stinkbug can be monitored with a synthetic pheromone developed by Embrapa
Claudio BezerraNeotropical brown stinkbug in the fieldClaudio Bezerra
the chemical flags that serve as communication between individuals of the same species
are used by insects to attract the opposite sex for mating
to mark out their territory or even as a warning against danger
When they are synthesized they can be used in traps in the field to capture insects with different objectives
population monitoring or even population control
their use is still restricted to just a few crops
but the application potential will tend to expand as the results obtained in research conducted at Embrapa Genetic Resources and Biotechnology in Brasília show; it has led to the chemical synthesis of the sex pheromone of the neotropical brown stinkbug (Euschistus heros)
the technology was transferred to Isca Tecnologia
from Ijuí in the state of Rio Grande do Sul
and is now in the large scale field experiment phase
producers use around 6 million liters of insecticide every soybean crop just fighting off the stinkbug
“In addition to causing an environmental problem
excessive use of insecticides also does away with insects that are beneficial to the plantation,” says the researcher Miguel Borges
and responsible for the research with pheromones
Soybeans are not the only crop attacked by the brown stinkbug
wheat and cotton are also targets for the insect’s appetite
“Although there are genetically modified plants
they have been structured to control pests which eat the crops
That is why today they are occupying other niches
The substances released by the insects are mostly volatile compounds
When male stinkbugs are sexually mature they release a sexual pheromone to attract females for mating
the first tasks of the researcher are to identify what these chemical flags that are immediately recognized by females from the same species consist of
and to synthesize the compound in the laboratory
The tests start after recognition and synthesis of the substances that compose the aromatic bouquet
the synthetic pheromone has to release a compound identical to the one released by the insect in order to attract a partner for mating,” says Borges
When he falls into the trap the stinkbug cannot escape and
it is possible to find out whether insecticide needs to be applied or not
“Even when application is necessary it will be done selectively
resulting in a cost reduction for the producer
in addition to protecting the worker and the environment,” says Borges
Francisco SchmidtTrap that releases sexual pheromone
made from screens through which they enter easily but are unable to escape fromFrancisco Schmidt
The only current method for monitoring stinkbugs is the so-called ‘cloth and beat’ method
where a 1 meter long by 0.5 meter wide cloth or tarpaulin with wooden side supports is placed between two rows of soybeans
The plants are bent over and beaten on to the cloth and the stinkbugs are then counted
the great expanses of soybean crops and the size of some plants
which spreads over 16 states and has a planted area greater than 24 million hectares
is responsible for an annual soybean production of 67 million tons in Brazil
“The damage the stinkbug causes in soybeans is irreversible,” says Borges
unlike caterpillars that merely eat leaves
this insect manages to perforate the plant and suck out the sap and the beans
“Some producers around the Federal District have already had losses of between 80% and 100% of their crop because of this insect,” explains the researcher
who started his work with pheromones in 1989
when he was doing his PhD at the University of Southampton
control has been carried out by applying insecticides close to the time the plant flowers
without taking into account the dynamics of stinkbugs in the field
Less insecticide The synthetic pheromone was experimentally tested in crops in Goiás
“The use of traps with pheromone allows us to monitor stinkbug populations more precisely and avoids an outbreak of the pest
principally in the most critical phase when the soybean is filling out,” says Borges
“In one of the experiments carried out in Uberlândia
in the area treated with pheromones the application of insecticide fell by 50%.” The traps were placed every 1 hectare in the plantation and worked perfectly
“If they were placed every 200 meters the cost/benefit would be very large.”
The partnership deal with Isca was closed in October 2010
has the company started more extensive trials with soybean producers in Rio Grande do Sul
“We’re going to compare the traps with pheromones with the ‘cloth and beat’ technique,” says Rafael Borges
The company is also developing three types of trap
with an enhanced capacity for recapturing and retaining insects
and assessing the best concentration of synthetic compounds
“The first challenge is to develop a trap that is commercially viable
which will facilitate introducing the technology in the field.”

taking on a more Brazilian and tropical attitude"
GermanyThe Germans from the towns of Ijuí and Nova Württemberg (State of Rio Grande do Sul) celebrate the Nazi rise to power in 1933Staatsbibliothek
the first image that comes to mind is that of a ridiculous group of blonds from the State of Rio Grande do Sul raising their right arms in the midst of smoke coming out of a barbecue pit
But the fact is that the Nazi presence was not as picturesque and was of noteworthy political importance
especially with regard to the strengthening of the Estado Novo (New State)
the name given to the dictatorial regime of President Getulio Vargas that ruled Brazil seventy years ago
“Tropical Nazism: The Nazi Party in Brazil” is the name of the doctoral thesis of Ana Maria Dietrich
recently presented at the University of São Paulo
interviewed former Nazi Party members in the country and even contacted the daughters of Hans Henning von Cossel
the Brazilian Führer who headed the Nazi Party in Brazil
Ana discovered that even Nazism is subject to tropical influences when it flourishes south of the Equator
“This tropical attitude occurred in accordance with the nuances that Brazilian reality imposed upon Nazism
Thus it was possible for Germans and for Brazilians of German descent to celebrate Hitler’s birthday and the typical Brazilian Feast of St
a typical Brazilian dish made from cornmeal,” says the researcher
This is the unique aspect of Brazilian style Nazism
there are more important – and equally unknown – facts: the Brazilian Nazi Party was active for ten years in Brazil and operated in 17 states (including such unlikely ones as Bahia
a number only exceeded by the party in Germany
Of the 83 countries with offshoots of Hitler’s NSDAP
the Brazilian Nazi Party already existed even before Adolph came into power in 1933
five years before Hitler’s ascension to power
by a group from the city of Benedito Timbó
This was not only the first foreign party cell in the country but also the first cell of the Nazi movement outside Germany
Just like the Communists who preached their party’s internationalization
their rivals the Nazis wanted to do the same
“The Nazi Party in Brazil was much more important to Germany than it was to Brazil
The Brazilian Government disregarded the existence of the Nazi Party for ten years
whereas Hitler’s government viewed the Party as the representative of the German people in Brazilian territory
so that any actions taken against the Party had direct consequences on Germany’s relations with Brazil,” says Dietrich
The networking and control of the Party was in the hands of the Auslandorganisation der NSDAP (the Organization of Nazi Parties Abroad
Bohle had the same status as party heads such as Joseph Goebbels
the “Germanic” characteristics of Germans living outside of Germany
who were not supposed to mingle with the locals nor learn the local language
the “host land” of German communities
the community members were not allowed to engage in local politics
The Nazis were supposed to remain neutral in relation to local politics and were not allowed to disclose their ideas to the natives,” the researcher points out
The propaganda was supposed to appeal to the responsibilities of Germans living outside their native land
“Hitler’s Germany officially rekindled the German people’s feeling of “belonging” to a Germanic nation
whose origins stemmed from the elimination-minded pan-Germanic and Germanic anti-Semitism manifested since the second half of the 19th century,” says historian Maria Luíza Tucci Carneiro
head of the Intolerance Studies Center at the University of São Paulo/USP
Hitler’s election in 1933 counted on the precious votes of those “guests,” including the ones living in Brazil
was that the “pure Germans” were considered as being “superior” to the German-Brazilians
as the generation born in the tropics was referred to
This division was the downfall of the Nazi movement: “the creation of a Brazilian-style Fascist movement known as ‘integralismo’ expanded and fascinated the German-Brazilian community in Brazil
the ideological content of the ‘integralismo’ movement attracted many Germans and people of German descent
especially those who had been ‘discarded’ by international Nazism because of their ‘mixed’ ethnic origins,” the author points out
GermanyNazi Party group from Hamburger Berg (RS) marching in 1933Staatsbibliothek
Within the typical Hollywood-style spirit of Indiana Jones
the Third Reich sent expeditions to Brazil
with the objective of verifying the colonization conditions of the Aryan race in tropical lands
the Tropical Institute in Hamburg sent a group of German scientists to study German descendants living in the State of Espírito Santo
The group was aided by the Brazilian Government and received support from Henrique da Rocha Lima
referred to by the Nazis as “our good friend
the professor.” Rocha Lima (who received a medal of honor from the Führer) had taken active part in research studies on yellow fever with scientist Oswaldo Cruz
had been head of the Manguinhos research institute
and had been a serious candidate for the Nobel Prize because of his studies on a variation of typhoid fever transmitted by tics to soldiers in battle trenches
The result of the research study in Espirito Santo stated that “the Aryan race was able to survive in the tropics
provided that any mingling with the local population was avoided.” In line with the spirit of Lebensraum (the search for “vital space” via military expansionism)
“we will not land troops to conquer Brazil with weapons in our hands
are unseen.” The Third Reich was also interested in the Amazon Region
another expedition traveled along the Jari River up to the frontier with French Guyana
This expedition resulted in a documentary on the “enigma of the jungle hell”
An attempt was made “to create a friendly relationship between the Germans and the native Indians,” not to mention the crates filled with animal skins
fossils and thousands of archeological artifacts taken back secretly to the Fatherland for further analysis
A cross made from Amazon Rain Forest wood with a swastika engraved on it still exists and marks the grave where Josef Greiner
the Brazilian party had a direct link to the Reich and appointed Hans von Cossel run the Brazilin Nazi cell
where he was introduced to Hitler and praised by Joachim von Ribbentropp
as “one of the most fortunate and reliable national heads of the NSDAP
who leads the biggest national group of the A.O.” In 1938
Cossel had the privilege of being the guest of honor at a farewell party organized by Hess
Cossel arrived in Rio de Janeiro in 1931 as cultural attaché to the German Embassy
He impressed his superiors so much that he was appointed head of the group in 1934 in lieu of a corrupt colleague
thanks to his ability to maintain open communication channels between Brazilians and Germans and to his relations with Vargas and Hitler
Ana Dietrich was able to interview Cossel’s daughters
who told her that Cossel “was highly esteemed by Vargas
who gave him a painting of his in a lovely frame.” They also told the researcher that when Cossel left Brazil in 1942
after the Vargas Regime had broken off diplomatic relations with the Axis
he was invited to work at the German Foreign Ministry
Cossel declined the invitation and entered the Navy instead
“My father said that he looked at them and said: ‘I will not collaborate with this.’ He also told us that he had not been at all impressed by Hitler and had merely sent him reports
people thought he knew about everything that was going on
Germans are more patriotic when they are abroad
because they have deep feelings for their nation,” Gisela von Cossel said
Family recollections are not always reliable
“Cossel’s relationship with Hitler and Vargas (who
referred to Cossel as his ‘dear and good friend’) was quite special
which shows the extent of the Nazi movement in Brazil
It was not only a movement embraced by nostalgic colonists
but also something that interfered with the upper echelons of society,” says the researcher
How did the Brazilian Nazis act in relation to a community which in the thirties had 40 thousand people
there are very few records in this respect
Local anti-Semitism was an imported discourse; in other words
it was virtually nonexistent in practice (although it did exist to some extent) and
But the tone of these articles was the battle between the “Jews over there” and the “Germans over there,” says Dietrich
Tropical racial prejudice was much stronger against Negroes and mestizos
classified as Brazilians in a demeaning way
There are even some hilarious stories on “ethnic” marriages
such as the one between an expatriate from Santa Catarina who decided to “import” an Aryan bride
only to find out that he had married an “ugly woman with one leg shorter than the other.” However
who married a Brazilian and named his Brazilian daughter “Irene.” “Also
these urban and rural communities were not isolated
adopting the local customs and habits.”
The Reich pretended not to “see” these tropical peccadilloes
as the community in Brazil not only provided informal diplomatic services to the Fatherland
but was also a source of funds: “Living in Brazil since 1924
Otto Braun coordinated several foreign exchange transactions
provided details on how spying and financial frauds had been conducted in Brazil through Banco Alemão Transatlântico (the “German Transatlantic Bank”)
which would transfer money from the community to Swiss banks
which then sent the money on to Germany,” says Dietrich
politics was the real tropical side of Nazism
and was ultimately a “gift” to the Vargas Regime: this “gift” was the relationship between the Nazis and the Ação Integralista Brasileira (AIB)
a fascist political party founded by Plínio Salgado
whose members wore green shirts and hailed fellow members by shouting “anauê”
“This political party can be viewed as an important characteristic of tropical Nazism because it was an unexpected event that had not been part of the original plan of the Nazi Party’s organization in Brazil,” Dietrich explains
The AIB’s siren song was sweet: “If you were German
so join the Integralista legions and wear the green shirt of those who fight for the good of Brazil.” However
whereas the AIB with its nationalist platform did not agree with German nationalism (although
it would present itself as the feasible way for the tropical Deutschtum to materialize)
Nazism did not want the German community in Brazil to become assimilated
“Characterizing it disparagingly as xenophobic
the NSDAP was totally against Germans and their descendants joining the AIB
because the general belief was that this would affect the Germanization of Brazil
the AIB was mainly concerned about the racial issue
with the objective of refining the race by reducing the number of Negroes and native Indians and by increasing the number of Europeans
The Nazi Government called this ‘Lusitanianization’ and viewed this as a threat to the Deutschtum.”

The researcher adds that the AIB was viewed disparagingly by the Germans in Berlin
and became anathema after their pathetic attempt at a coup against Vargas in 1938
organized with the suspected participation of Brazilian Nazis
In addition to disobeying orders from Germany
the Brazilian putsch also put the German State in an embarrassing position vis-à-vis the Brazilian Government
even knowing that Oswaldo Aranha was Getulio Vargas’ foreign relations minister
Oswaldo Aranha preferred to invert the game in favor of the United States
because he felt Americans would be more valuable partners than the Germans
even though in the thirties the foreign trade between Germany and Brazil was twice as great as the trade between Brazil and the Yankees
Plínio Salgado went from being a pebble in the Brazilian dictator’s shoes to one in Hitler’s boots
“Because people of German descent were forbidden to join the Nazi Party
it lost one of its strongest forces in the South
where the most important German community consisted of German-Brazilians
people reacted negatively to segregationist Nazism
leaders were not accepted and the AIB party became a feasible option,” the historian analyzes
traditional Nazism bungled its goose stepping where its tropical version was concerned
conservative movement led by Salgado met the needs of the Brazilian-born Germans
who had been sidelined by the Vaterland (Fatherland)
The end was lots of Kartoffel (potatoes) for the winner
In view of the imbroglio involving the Nazis and the members of the AIB party
Vargas was easily able to chase several organizations into hiding
as part of the project for the nationalization of Brazil that Vargas desired
Germans went from being an ideological hazard due to the dissemination of Nazi ideas
seen as aliens in relation to the “New Man” that Vargas wanted to build up
the danger became “military and ideological”
Vargas was in the best of political worlds thanks to the ineptitude of the Nazis and the members of the AIB
He no longer had to worry about individuals worshipping Hitler rather than him
Vargas was able to channel all the authoritarian
xenophobic and nationalistic demands of these groups to his favor
All that was needed was to make them feel as if they were bound to the Estado Novo (New State)
a “father of the nation” sort of leader
The same occurred between Mussolini’s Italy and the AIB
was very useful to Brazilian right-wingers because it made authoritarian ideas popular and motivated many people to look more kindly upon the Estado Novo”
whose doctoral thesis focused on the Italian counterpart of the Ana Dietrich’s thesis
who were more politically savvy than the Germans
played a double game with Vargas and his enemies – the members of the AIB party – for a long time
the children of Italian immigrants chose to support the AIB
unlike their Italian-born parents or grandparents
were also concerned about the ethnic issue
implied in the support of the movement initiated by Salgado; however
the Italians ceased to believe in AIB’s revolutionary capacity
he had received large sums of money sent from Rome
“This left the Italian descendants who
influenced by this national-political context
by the problems they faced in trying to be accepted by Brazilian society
given that they were the children of immigrants
and by the general atmosphere of support for right-wing ideas
due to their cultural adaptation and to their wish to be seen as Brazilian citizens and to be actively engaged in Brazilian politics
many of these people of Italian descent joined the AIB,” Bertonha points out
they redirected their enthusiasm to the Vargas Regime
So Nazism here turned into feijoada (a typical Brazilian meal consisting of black beans stewed with pork
Four variables show how Nazism in Brazil took on tropical hues: tropical racism (i.e.
the movement was also prejudiced against Negroes and mestizos
who were in closer contact with the Party); the possibility of mixed marriages and a certain resistance of the local population to taking on German characteristics
whose wife was Brazilian and by the fact that many Germans said they “felt at home” in Brazil; the existence of the AIB movement
which had distorted the logic of the model; and the blending of habits
and the Germans interacted with local society
absorbing the local customs and habits,” Dietrich points out
the propaganda strategies produced some effect on the German immigrants living in the South of Brazil
“became indifferent to Brazilian politics and tended to close themselves off,” as documented in a newspaper published by the Nazi community: “We are one million Germans in Brazil
a church with no belfry; accept the challenge now
You were summoned to be the leaders of these people
because you are the most intelligent people in this land.” The German community was equally fragmented in relation to the Jews
“Getúlio Vargas surrounded himself with unshakeable admirers of Germany
who did not hide their fascination with Germany’s achievements,” says Tucci Carneiro
Part of the German community in the South of Brazil
believed it was reproducing their Fatherland
1939 Cartoon by BelmonteFolha da Noite newspaper
This close contact of the German immigrants with their native culture resulted in linguistic and cultural isolation
which was battled by political authorities during the Estado Novo
because they interpreted this attitude as “an erosion of the Brazilian spirit.” According to the researcher
this nationalistic discourse was good not only for fighting racial prejudice but also for masking the racist and anti-Semitic values of the political elite
which talked about “promoting the Brazilian man
defending economic development and protecting the country’s social peace.” The professor reminds us that the set of nationalistic and xenophobic decrees passed by the Estado Novo in 1938
legitimized the repressive and preventive actions taken against those who
were seen as a threat to the racial background and political order in Brazil
“Who were the people undermining the Brazilian nation
The Jews who had been rendered landless by the Nazi-Fascists
To this ‘scum’ one could add the communists
all treated as the pariahs of humanity.”
the neutrality of Vargas regarding the Axis was a mere façade
an appropriate mask for the great statesmen crowned by the glories of Fascism
“This interpretation enables one to understand the tough process of raising awareness about human rights in Brazil
The Contemporary History of Brazil still needs to be written
informing the public about the silence of the Brazilian Government in relation to the Jewish issue
Brazil published a number of secret circular letters forbidding the granting of entry visas to Jews and making the entry of “pure Aryans” easier
There are several anonymous letters filed in the archives of the Department of Political and Social Order – Deops
denouncing the landing of Jews in the ports of Rio and Santos
The historian came across a letter written by Oswaldo Aranha
Aranha states the importance of creating Israel to avoid the immigration of more Jews and to put a stop to the undesired entry of Jews in Brazil,” says Tucci Carneiro
The combination of sauerkraut and feijoada certainly caused historical indigestion worthy of recovery
