Jon Watts, the Guardian’s global environment editor, goes in search
of answers to the question the journalist Dom Phillips was
investigating when he was murdered: how to save the Amazon? In
episode two of this miniseries from June 2025, Jon meets the people
trying to make sure the rainforest is worth more standing than cut
down – from a government minister attempting to establish Brazil’s
‘bioeconomy’ to a startup founder creating superfood supplements
and a scientist organising night-time tours hunting for
bioluminescent fungi. Jon explores new ways of finding value in the
forest and asks whether they will be enough to secure its survival.
