HOW TO SAVE THE AMAZON & ARCTIC PASSAGES: Andrew Fishman on Dom Phillips’ Legacy & Kieran Mulvaney on Climate and Power in the Far North
Writer’s Voice: compelling conversations with authors who challenge, inspire, and inform.
Episode Summary
This week on Writer’s Voice, two stories from the planet’s frontlines: the Amazon rainforest and the Arctic ice. Two urgent stories from Earth’s frontlines — and why they matter for us all.
Dom Phillips dedicated his life to uncovering the truth about the Amazon — its beauty, its people, and the forces tearing it apart. In 2022, he paid the ultimate price when he was murdered while reporting in the forest. His final book, How To Save The Amazon, was completed by journalist Andrew Fishman along with a team of fellow journalists.
The book investigates the forces driving deforestation—agribusiness, illegal logging, mining, and organized crime—and highlights the activists and Indigenous communities defending the forest. It’s part investigation, part call to action — and it asks the question at the heart of our survival: what must we do to save the Amazon?
Key Topics
* Dom Phillips’ legacy and life’s work.
* The dangers faced by journalists covering the Amazon.
* Agribusiness, organized crime, and government complicity.
* Indigenous resistance and global responsibility.
* Why saving the Amazon is essential to confronting climate change.
