“It was just a horrifying, really sad moment. Everybody was trying to think: How can you deal with something like this? And the book was there,” said Jonathan Watts, an Amazon-based environmental writer for The Guardian who coauthored the foreword and one of the chapters.A sign that reads in Portuguese “Justice for Dom and Bruno” with images of the British journalist Dom Phillips, on the left, and the Indigenous specialist Bruno Pereira, is displayed on the Arcos da Lapa aqueduct during a protest by environmental groups to ask for justice for their deaths, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, June 26, 2022.

With the blessing of Phillips’ widow, Alessandra Sampaio, a group of five friends agreed to carryforward. The group led by Watts also included Andrew Fishman, the Rio-based president of The Intercept Brasil; Phillips’ agent, Rebecca Carter; David Davies, a colleague from his days in London as a music journalist; and Tom Hennigan, Latin America correspondent for The Irish Times.
“It was a way to not just feel awful about what had happened, but to get on with something. Especially because so many of Dom’s friends are journalists,” Watts said. “And what you fall back on is what you know best, which is journalism.”
By the time of his death, Phillips had traveled extensively across the Amazon and had completed an introduction and nearly four of the 10 planned chapters. He also left behind an outline of the remaining chapters, with different degrees of detail, and many pages of handwritten notes, some of them barely legible.It may take a few years, but Tompros hopes it won’t be too long before his newly planted trees bear fruit that he can sell to a local packinghouse or in seasonal gift boxes with citrus and passionfruit that he ships directly to customers.
