I write this paper with deep sadness and present ways to save mother earth, in addition to the indigenous people who live there. I recently visited Brazil and we are pitching a project in the Amazon Rainforest, a large tropical rainforest occupying the drainage basin of the Amazon River and its tributaries in northern South America and covering an area of 2,300,000 square miles (6,000,000 square km).
When I visited Brazil recently, I met Dr. Daniel Habib, someone I met before covid-19. When I was telling him a project we may do for the Amazon River building out a 4G network more than 2.3 million square miles, he told me about the Colombia jungle story. A small plane crashed and 3 kids survived the incident in the jungle. It was a miracle that the kids survived .
Recently Columbia kids were trapped for 40 days in the jungle with limited drinking water, sudden temperature change, and dangerous snakes not to mention dangerous militias. Previous person to survive that long was a A Bolivian man has described how he managed to survive for 31 days in the Amazon jungle after he got lost.
The first chart here shows the annual number of deaths since 1950 and includes the projection made by the UN until the end of the century. Again, it is possible to switch this chart to any other country or world region.
There were 67.1 million people in 2022.
There is a push by the Brazilian government to head the project to set up a 4G network for incidences like this to call for help. They already built 400 miles and 4G is enough to call for dangerous situations and can save many lives. 5G network takes up a lot more energy. They also said it doesn’t damage the rain forest.
Weeks ago, friends and I traveled from LA to Sao Paulo, Brazil. While it wasn’t the first time, flying by knowing that Amazon had one of the biggest species and plant life in the world, something we must preserve. If these Children had some sort of radio communication, some could have been saved. Below are some data that happens every year. A Bolivian man has described how he managed to survive for 31 days in the Amazon jungle after he got lost.
