Yanomamo describes the crisis situation in the Amazon Basin, where rainforest trees are being felled for use as commercial timber, the land cleared for ranching , and thousands of peasants from Brazil's overcrowded cities arrive in search of a better life. The Yanomamo is the oldest Indian Tribe living in the forest. Unlike our own civilisation, the Yanomamo lead a way of life in harmony with nature which, undisturbed, would survive with the forest for the next twenty thousand years and more. The Indians' existence, and that of millions of animal and plant species, is threatened by the destruction of the trees and the arrival of the incomers.
