I mean, we sent them so many microplastics and PFAS and every person and thing there is full of it … and they didn’t even respond? Rude.
It’s odd to me that the border is so specifically defined but it’s so unexplored. Does it follow rivers or something?
This was surprisingly difficult to find information on. Translated by yours truly: The border line covers the territory between the mouth of the Yavarí river and the mouth of the Yaverija river in Acre (Brasil) and extends entirely en the Amazon Jungle. […] The border was demarcated two treaties: Convención Fluvial sobre Comercio y Navegación entre la República del Perú y el Imperio del Brasil which creates the north border at the beginning of the Yavarí and the Tratado de Límites, Comercio y Navegación de la Cuenca del Amazonas, entre el Perú y Brasil. I couldn’t find an English source for either treaty nor do I really feel like translating five pages lol. I guess it follows the Yavarí for most of the way until it meets the Río Branco? Not sure where it goes from there though
I saw that difficulty and immediately gave up and made an open ended comment. Thank you for doing that research 💪. It’s very interesting
So I said screw it and skimmed the damn thing. Article 7 of the treaty mentions borders, but only serves to clarify that the preexisting borders will continue to exist and that they “be natural and convenient for one and another nations”.
Interestingly, article 5 says that black slaves will not cross the borders, and escaped slaves will be returned to their respective country. Turns out that Brazil did not ban slavery until 1888! Peru never had slaves so I’m not who the Brazilians would need to return
Just message them.
The green pickle tribes?!
WE WANT THE OPERA IN IQUITOS!
This map still reflects the crazy daring of both:
“Fitzcarraldo” as the main character in the film.
“Fitzcarraldo” as the Werner Herzog on-location film production.I’m fascinated by this director and the actor.
They hated each other, were constantly fighting to the point Kinsky almost killed Herzog but they still shot 5 movies together in the most impossible locations.
At one point one of the native chief they were working with offered to kill Hinsky. Herzog declined the offer because he still needed the Hinsky to finish the movie.
For Fitzcarraldo they bought 3 similar 320 tons steamboat. They actually pulled the boat uphill manually without any special effects. Then in the scene were the boat crashed in the rapid they actually crashed the boat on rapid while filming inside. Half of the people involved in the filming of this sequence ended up injured.
Two plane crashed during the movie … Honestly I fell like what happened behind the scenes of the movie is even more fascinating and dramatic than the movie itself.
For anyone interested in learning more, there’s a behind the scenes documentary about Fitzcarraldo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_Dreams
Edit: I forgot to mention there is also a documentary about the tumultuous relationship between Herzog and Kinski: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Best_Fiend
I love that Herzog made the documentary “My Best Fiend” AFTER Kinski’s death.
I didn’t realize that! I haven’t watched either documentary yet, at least not fully.
Behold, the shadow of my massive sausage
The map is meh, but the article is very good
Whats the estimate on number of these tribes?
I wouldn’t trust any count. By definition, we don’t know them very well, and you need a certain level of cultural insight to pick apart ethnic groups that are all rainforest hunter-gatherers.
Surly we can do some statistical application to give us a rough number would be awsome if it had error as well
If you just wanted total population, sure. Measure density and multiply by the area of the region. Ethnic groups are hard to pick apart even if they’re in contact but still remote, though. It’s a matter of anthropology, not demographics.
The pickle region
i’m sure that’s where they hide then entrance to inner earth
The main entrance to agartha is in antarctica thats why they built the south pole station over it
Behold - the giant cashew
