On June 5, British journalist Dom Philips and Brazilian Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira went missing while traveling by boat along the Itaquaí River in Amazonas, Brazil, where Phillips was reporting on a book on the Amazon rainforest. Their deaths highlighted the safety risks journalists face while reporting from the Amazon region. An abundance of natural resources, limited policing, and corruption makes the Amazon rainforest a haven for criminals. Reporting on illegal activities can be fraught with danger, and CPJ has compiled safety guidance for journalists planning to report from the Amazon basin, and best practices for protecting their physical and digital safety and the safety of their sources. This new safety advisory deals with: -Pre-assignment planning -Positioning, location safety and awareness -Traveling and communicating with at-risk individuals and sources -Legal concerns, and -Clothing and equipment.
