Family members of a British journalist who went missing along with an Indigenous expert in a remote and lawless area of the Amazon rainforest are calling on the Brazilian government to intensify its search.
Journalist Dom Phillips, 57, and Bruno Pereira were last seen in the riverside community of Sao Gabriel on Sunday, June 5. They were travelling in the Javari Valley, a vast region bordering Peru that is home to the world’s largest number of uncontacted Indigenous people and is threatened by illegal miners, loggers and hunters, as well as coca-gangs that make the raw material for cocaine.
The disappearance of the two men, who both had years of experience working in the Amazon, has sparked global concern.

This appears weird.
All hell breaking loose around the word and he's lost in a jungle.
Yup he's a journalist all right.
A journalist goes missing, Like all journalists today I hope a pain filled death for the scum as today’s journalist caused pain and suffering with there leftist propaganda.
Muckraker disappears?
Awesome👍
Who cares 😂😂😂
That fella is dead meat folks ,,, asking them to waste resources and risk lives to roam around the Amazon is entitlement at its best.
i mean they couldnt have gotten far into the forest right? send in a ground team (probably armed) and follow their route. odds are these guys were attacked cause i dont see them going off path like idiots and winding up hurt somewhere.
He's dead, no point in wasting time and money looking for him. He went to an extremely dangerous country in an extremely dangerous area, proper Darwin award material here.
Well if this wasn't a hostage situation already, it is now thanks to the news coverage.
Anything, just take it out on the credit of Jean Charles de Menezes.
Stupid guy does stupid thing and his family wants taxpayers to shell out the cost for it. Classic first world privilege.
Oh hey. Global! A Canadian journalist (remember those?) Eva K Bartlett is on a LITERAL kill list under Zelensky. Any reporting on that?
Cannibal Holocaust theme starts playing..
Pony up the cash and I'm sure they'll "intensify" the search but until then this isn't their problem.
missing in the Amazon??? well we all know someone is having a good meal (Cannibalism) lmao
Fake cry, reading a script. .
Why try an force them to when his stupidity did this to himself
So sad; praying for he and his family!🙏💕🤗🇨🇦from Ab Canada😢🙏
Pediram pra morrer.
I think he confused the Amazon with Disney
Notice to the world: the brazilian government of Bolsonaro is not making the necessary efforts for search operations!
This was very stupid of him to go into the rain forest.
