The world-renowned Brazilian photographer, Sebasti茫o Salgado, tells the 大象传媒's James Menendez that the country's indigenous peoples in the Amazon are facing a particularly high risk. He has written an open letter to the Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, warning of a "real risk of genocide" of indigenous peoples.
