In 2021, scientists found that for the first time, the Amazon emits more CO2 than it absorbs.

Illegal deforestation in the Amazon leads to: Global warming Pollution from oil drilling and toxic gold mining Extreme global weather – droughts and floods Influx of cocaine in cities and neighborhoods Increased poverty, human migration and social unrest Murder and rape of Indigenous tribes Biodiversity loss DESPERATE MEASURES is an engrossing novel for those fed up with corporate greenwashing, UN resolutions that fail, the continuing destruction of the Amazon rainforest and the massacre of Indigenous people. Corruption and greed are at the heart of over 10,000 acres of rainforest being burned and destroyed every day. When laws are ignored and governments corrupt, what can be done?
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Join Jack Christian, Oriana,an Indigenous female lawyer, along with a group of committed activists with special talents, aka The Brain Trust, as they fight to overcome government corruption, corporate greed, and deadly cocaine syndicates. Can a small group really make a difference? See how deep fake technology, smart drones, and Indigenous tribes work together to bring about radical change.
This provocative thriller novel seeks to blend facts with a compelling fictional story about shutting down illegal deforestation and corruption in the Bolivian Amazon. At the same time, it is intended to provide hope and support to those currently fighting against illegal and excessive deforestation. The story is fictional, but entirely plausible. Its message is one we cannot afford to ignore.
