[00:00:15] Record News offering
[00:00:18] Paradesco companies and businesses open an account for your
[00:00:22] company.
[00:00:42] In today's Record News series, you will get to know the Serra do Mar, this is
[00:00:45] a place where a green wall that ends up separating
[00:00:49] the Atlantic Ocean from part of the Brazilian territory also houses
[00:00:52] thousands of animals such as tapirs, jaguars and
[00:00:56] venomous snakes.
[00:01:07] a green wall of 1500
[00:01:09] km.
[00:01:13] The Serra do Mar stretches from Espírito Santo to
[00:01:16] northern Rio Grande do Sul.
[00:01:20] Cradle of the Atlantic Forest, refuge of
[00:01:23] 1361 species of
[00:01:25] animals.
[00:01:28] 383 my...
[00:01:34] We are in Ubatuba, the last city on the north coast of São Paulo,
[00:01:37] our destination today is the Água Branca waterfall, the sixth largest in the
[00:01:41] country and we have to go quickly, because it's 5 km of
[00:01:44] climb, it's windy and with rain forecast for later,
[00:01:48] I hope it doesn't rain on the way
[00:01:49] right?
[00:01:53] The trails start wide and
[00:01:55] woman near easy, but soon after the forest becomes dense
[00:01:58] and the path becomes.
[00:02:01] The water is always by our side, or even in the middle of the
[00:02:05] path, it hasn't even been 10 minutes of
[00:02:08] walking, we are already
[00:02:09] wet.
[00:02:12] Serra do Mar is home to the sources of many rivers that cut through
[00:02:16] southeastern Brazil. The waters of the
[00:02:19] Tietê river, for example, which bathe 62 municipalities
[00:02:23] in São Paulo, sprout from it. The Iguaçu river, which supplies
[00:02:25] Paraná, also originates in the mountains. Listen to the
[00:02:29] sound. It's the entire trail listening to this
[00:02:32] sound, it's the water flowing down,
[00:02:36] when we reached 100 m above sea level, we entered the
[00:02:39] area of the state park, the section of the
[00:02:42] Picinguaba nucleus, it shelters a high
[00:02:45] biodiversity, there are records, right, of mammals,
[00:02:49] of primates, here there is a lot of occurrence of the southern muriqui,
[00:02:52] it is an endangered
[00:02:56] primate. On the trail, the vegetation is very dense.
[00:03:00] It's hard to see the animals, but they see us
[00:03:02] and
[00:03:04] some
[00:03:08] jararaca snake on the trail, I almost stepped on it,
[00:03:12] I don't even know exactly how I avoided stepping here, I think I noticed the
[00:03:15] movement, instinctively I pulled my foot away, it
[00:03:19] prepared to strike, but didn't strike by a lot of luck I
[00:03:22] had, the rattle
[00:03:25] suddenly forms a kind of so to speak, it's making a warning system like don't
[00:03:29] approach. that it's watching
[00:03:31] us, it's sensing the heat, in fact it
[00:03:35] senses it through the pit it has and notice that it is the
[00:03:39] coloration of the leaves, this is a system of both the
[00:03:42] Handling complaints Jararaca and the Jaracu that practically cannot be
[00:03:45] perceived without movement, if anyone
[00:03:48] here were bitten, the damage would be enormous, because the jararaca is
[00:03:52] venomous, it has a potent venom, the most
[00:03:55] common consequences are pain and swelling, but in more
[00:03:59] severe cases, it can even lead to death if help takes too
[00:04:03] long, it is prepared. Brazil registers an average of
[00:04:07] 26,000 snake accidents per year, most of them not
[00:04:10] serious. Jararacas are responsible for
[00:04:14] 70% of bites in humans in the country and
[00:04:17] 90% in the state of São Paulo. The one
[00:04:20] there, that we found on the trail, is about 1 meter long and
[00:04:24] got very close to us.
[00:04:27] In the Serra do Mar, many animals use these... enormous trees to
[00:04:31] camouflage themselves, look at the size of this
[00:04:34] fig tree, look at that, you can stay here
[00:04:37] inside, easily more than 20
[00:04:40] m, imagine how long it's been here, some
[00:04:44] of them are centuries old, in the past this trail was used by
[00:04:48] residents of communities who walked from Ubatuba on the
[00:04:51] coast, to Vargem Grande Paulista in the metropolitan region of São
[00:04:54] Paulo,
[00:04:59] under one of these trees, a
[00:05:01] surprise:
[00:05:04] I had never seen a naturally colored
[00:05:08] egg, and look there, this one is between green and
[00:05:12] blue. People commented that it is a macuco
[00:05:14] egg,
[00:05:16] macuco is this friendly bird that lives in the
[00:05:18] Atlantic forest, closer and closer to the waterfall,
[00:05:22] anxiety takes over and with fatigue, slips are
[00:05:26] inevitable, oh it hit
[00:05:28] exactly,
[00:05:32] everyone exhausted and
[00:05:34] we at some moments the
[00:05:37] groups move away a little so we stop and
[00:05:41] wait for the other.
[00:06:12] appears up there and has two drops, here
[00:06:16] below, crystal clear water, without pollution, it's hard to
[00:06:20] resist,
[00:06:30] the dive revives, the guide, one of the park
[00:06:33] monitors, keeps looking at the waterfall all the
[00:06:36] time, he grew up at the foot of the Serra do Mar and gets emotional,
[00:06:40] he makes a point of emphasizing how much this grandeur
[00:06:44] represents for those who come here for the first time and
[00:06:47] especially for those who are already used to it, but are part
[00:06:50] of the communities of the Serra, very emotional,
[00:06:54] because these are my roots and I think we can't
[00:06:58] let this die.
[00:07:17] Lobinhos, tapirs
[00:07:20] and jaguars, many
[00:07:22] jaguars.
[00:07:27] These images were captured in a forest, but not in the
[00:07:30] Amazon. We are in the Serra do Mar, just over
[00:07:33] 2 hours from the city of São Paulo. The
[00:07:37] largest private environmental reserve of Atlantic Forest in
[00:07:40] Brazil.
[00:07:43] a green area of 31,000 hectares, almost the same
[00:07:47] size as Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais. This trail
[00:07:50] is called Tikun,
[00:07:53] because Tikun is the name of a jaguar that has been sighted here
[00:07:56] a few times and this is our objective,
[00:08:00] to find Ticun, actually, Tikun, because it's a
[00:08:03] male.
[00:08:07] The tracks appear immediately. Here, what we're probably seeing is a
[00:08:11] scrape, which is a... territory marking of jaguars
[00:08:14] and here we have a small area that is clean, right, as if someone
[00:08:18] had dragged, swept
[00:08:20] it,
[00:08:24] it wasn't just jaguars that passed through where we are, according to the biologist,
[00:08:28] oh, people found a footprint here, whose footprint? this
[00:08:32] here is probably a deer footprint, jaguar
[00:08:35] food, jaguar food, so it's a good sign that this trail is used
[00:08:39] by both jaguar food and jaguars because we've already seen the scratch.
[00:08:50] these sharp claw marks on a tree, although there are a lot
[00:08:54] of animals here, it's difficult
[00:08:57] dense, very closed, so researchers set
[00:09:01] traps, image traps with
[00:09:05] cameras like this here in the reserve region in two
[00:09:08] years there were 385
[00:09:12] records of
[00:09:13] pumas
[00:09:18] with the analysis of the sightings it was possible to identify 5 jaguars,
[00:09:21] among them is Ticum and Dengoso
[00:09:25] that you can already guess why the name
[00:09:27] right?
[00:09:29] The biologist believes there are still more, I have this
[00:09:32] estimate that there are at least 10 pumas circulating within
[00:09:36] the
[00:09:36] reserve.
[00:09:42] the second largest feline in Brazil, the first is the jaguar that can exceed
[00:09:46] 2 meters and weigh over 100 kg, by these cameras
[00:09:50] the species has never been caught, but near here at
[00:09:53] Adenir's place yes, at that time dogs
[00:09:57] in the region were starting to
[00:09:59] disappear, in fact a week before my dog disappeared and the
[00:10:03] following Sunday
[00:10:05] I looked at the camera and that giant cat, right, it was a
[00:10:09] jaguar indeed, right?
[00:10:13] Another feline that has been studied in the reserve is the
[00:10:15] ocelot. 24 have already been
[00:10:18] identified.
[00:10:21] The peccaries, a species of wild pig, were interested in the equipment.
[00:10:26] The opossum faces the ocelot,
[00:10:29] the snail kite hunts the snake, high
[00:10:33] in the trees, no need for hidden cameras, some
[00:10:37] capuchin monkeys don't mind our presence, exuberant
[00:10:40] nature and preservation that guarantees
[00:10:43] development, if in the past preservation did not combine with
[00:10:47] economic development, this is now the
[00:10:51] opposite, conserving this biome and expanding it is...
[00:10:55] vital for our health as a population and for future
[00:10:59] generations,
[00:11:04] we continue on the trail of the jaguar or some other animal, what is it
[00:11:07] Stephany? here is a tapir
[00:11:09] footprint,
[00:11:13] the camera archives leave no doubt, they passed
[00:11:17] here, opa, opa, here we have
[00:11:20] Mrs. Tapir, maybe even from that
[00:11:24] track there, exactly.
[00:11:30] Even two rare albino tapirs have been registered,
[00:11:33] they are called Gasparzinho and
[00:11:35] Canjiquinha. It is not a new species, but a genetic
[00:11:39] mutation. Within the reserve, tapirs are protected,
[00:11:43] but outside they are at risk. The animal that can reach
[00:11:46] 300 kg is on the red list,
[00:11:49] of those threatened with
[00:11:51] extinction.
[00:11:55] Near here, in São Miguel do Arcanjo, also in the Ribeira Valley, researchers
[00:11:58] face a conflicting scenario with the
[00:12:01] aim of saving lives. Tapirs are
[00:12:04] targeted by hunting, right, even commercial, we have
[00:12:08] problems with vehicle collision and conflict situations, right, which
[00:12:11] today is a threat in the Serra do Mar, right, the tapirs enter cultivation areas
[00:12:15] and end up being killed or threatened by
[00:12:19] this.
[00:12:22] The city in the southwest of the state is a hub for fruit production, but a hungry
[00:12:26] tapir can eat up to 40 kg in one night,
[00:12:30] it causes a lot of damage,
[00:12:32] because besides walking, the grape bunches are ripe,
[00:12:36] it's big, it passes rubbing against it, it passes under this wire,
[00:12:40] for the judge, for the producer
[00:12:42] right?
[00:12:46] To prevent animals from eating the fruits, farmers and
[00:12:49] researchers united and adopted electric
[00:12:52] fences, they have an adequate voltage. to keep
[00:12:55] the tapirs away and were installed in two grape plantations, the
[00:12:59] image traps show the result: the tapir
[00:13:03] approaches, touches and goes
[00:13:05] away,
[00:13:08] but there's another project, it seeks to protect tapirs in an even
[00:13:12] more subtle way. The main objective with the observation
[00:13:16] of tapirs, especially here in the region, is to try to act a little in the
[00:13:20] mitigation of conflict with the small producers in the
[00:13:23] surroundings.
[00:13:25] The observation of tapirs is so common here that biologists managed to record
[00:13:29] their communication with the caracaras: the Tapir
[00:13:32] carrapateiros: a Anta
[00:13:34] vocalizes
[00:13:37] the caracara makes a sound immediately after.
[00:13:41] Lands on the tapir and picks up the ticks stuck to its
[00:13:44] fur. We stayed in ambush to see if we could catch
[00:13:48] any, it gets dark nothing until
[00:13:52] we were preparing
[00:13:55] to leave when it appeared, with the encounter we bid
[00:13:59] farewell to this refuge of tapirs in the Serra do Mar,
[00:14:14] intense training,
[00:14:16] wet,
[00:14:20] day or night
[00:14:23] for men and women.
[00:14:27] The location this time in the mountain that bears the sea's name
[00:14:31] could not be otherwise, close to the coast, this valley is in a
[00:14:35] green strip very close to the industrial pole of
[00:14:38] Cubatão. The protection of the forest is made by
[00:14:41] true mountainous
[00:14:43] walls.
[00:14:45] And many times the person comes here and is not
[00:14:49] prepared and has a plan, they think it will
[00:14:53] be easy like going to a park
[00:14:55] here in the city, but these are occurrences that happen with a
[00:14:59] certain
[00:14:59] frequency,
[00:15:03] some people think the Serra do Mar is a barrier, a true
[00:15:07] wall, and for those who think it's not cold here, they are
[00:15:10] mistaken, up high the temperature can
[00:15:14] reach -3 degrees and with a lot of
[00:15:17] fog, the dense forest also confuses and makes the
[00:15:21] forest even darker.
[00:15:25] It is in this scenario of intact nature that 19
[00:15:28] men and one woman from the fire department prepare
[00:15:32] for difficult rescues, they are the ones
[00:15:35] who protect the area.
[00:15:40] 40 minutes of dirt road, we finally arrived
[00:15:44] here, look at the place where the firefighters set up the command
[00:15:48] post, from here on it's all walking
[00:15:52] on the trail, how many nights do you spend here in the forest?
[00:15:55] in this training we do two nights and
[00:15:59] three days, how do you set this up, how do you choose this
[00:16:02] location? we try to look for it near trees
[00:16:06] to make a more... natural shelter we use tarpaulins
[00:16:09] to protect from bad weather and the tents are simple camping tents
[00:16:13] and inside the tent we have a cot it's a bed so he doesn't have to be on the ground
[00:16:17] directly the training
[00:16:21] takes place within a radius of 2 to 3 km from this
[00:16:24] point but the students don't stay here they are
[00:16:28] camped on the other side of this river on the other
[00:16:32] bank
[00:16:34] on the skin the marks of frequent contact with
[00:16:38] humidity and how they enter and exit the streams
[00:16:40] the
[00:16:43] group has already received what mission they have to fulfill, there are four victims
[00:16:47] who are lost and need help, but now they have 10
[00:16:50] minutes right captain to organize the equipment they can take 8
[00:16:54] minutes now
[00:17:06] there will be... psychological exhaustion,
[00:17:09] studies prove that stress experienced in training
[00:17:13] is similar or greater than in a real
[00:17:17] activity, these are stressful situations like
[00:17:21] this,
[00:17:28] firefighters took 9 hours to rescue a 34-year-old
[00:17:33] where we are in the Serra do Mar, at night she fell from
[00:17:36] a stone slope next to this
[00:17:39] waterfall, these photos and this video show the
[00:17:42] exact moment of the successful rescue, the victim had
[00:17:46] to be winched by helicopter, the stretcher
[00:17:49] used was like this,
[00:17:52] in addition to rappelling, firefighters also use a lot of another rescue
[00:17:56] technique, the zip line, come on guys,
[00:18:00] the chair is not on the other side yet, it's
[00:18:04] positive to transfer the rhythm here.
[00:18:08] The mission is to cross this river and rescue men
[00:18:11] stranded at the limit of hunger and
[00:18:14] cold, it is one of the most
[00:18:16] challenging, because any error can cause
[00:18:20] the firefighter, can end up being the
[00:18:23] victim.
[00:18:27] They rescue the group in
[00:18:28] danger.
[00:18:40] "Everyone is bending down now we don't even know exactly where
[00:18:43] it came from, a chase in the middle of the
[00:18:46] forest, they found another
[00:18:49] trap here, if they found anything, we'll get their anecause,
[00:18:53] nature and the beauties of the Serra do Mar
[00:18:57] attract adventurers, tourists, but also
[00:19:00] hunters, they usually hunt paca,
[00:19:04] armadillo,
[00:19:06] the mission..." It begins in this room, in Guaratinguetá, in the
[00:19:10] Paraíba Valley, interior of São Paulo. Before going to the
[00:19:14] jungle, the platoon commander gives the
[00:19:16] instructions.
[00:19:20] regarding hunting in the municipality of Cunha, both
[00:19:22] hunting and irregular palm heart
[00:19:26] extraction. Environmental Police cars speed off
[00:19:30] to one of the most preserved points of the
[00:19:33] park, until reaching the trail, a lot of mud.
[00:19:40] police action, bulletproof vests and these leggings
[00:19:44] to prevent snake bites, so as not to attract
[00:19:47] the attention of suspects, cell phones are
[00:19:50] turned off, it doesn't take long for the first
[00:19:53] trace to appear, what did you find here? it's a trace
[00:19:57] of people who passed here probably,
[00:20:00] this footprint here, probably hunters leave this mark
[00:20:04] here to indicate that you should turn to such a place, right? the police officer who goes
[00:20:08] ahead, he identifies them and guides the other
[00:20:10] officers, but the rain intensifies, making
[00:20:14] our team's walk in the middle of the
[00:20:17] forest difficult.
[00:20:22] On the way, the police find this different
[00:20:25] trap to hunt a very skittish animal, there's a
[00:20:29] police officer who comes in front and looks for
[00:20:33] traps, other things, this here, look, a trap for
[00:20:37] hunting... the animal enters to get out
[00:20:40] of the den and it closes, it can't get out anymore here,
[00:20:44] fortunately it hadn't captured any, a little
[00:20:47] later the police find this other...
[00:21:51] unforeseen events, Bruno's boot, our drone operator
[00:21:54] opened and
[00:21:57] difficulties, on this trail we go up, down six
[00:22:00] hills, this is just the first little climb,
[00:22:04] until reaching a wonderful
[00:22:06] place,
[00:22:10] all next to the largest city in the country, between the movement
[00:22:14] of greater São Paulo and the coastal lowlands
[00:22:17] the more.
[00:22:20] a preserved refuge of the Atlantic Forest in the Serra do
[00:22:23] Mar, until the entrance of the park, in the city of São
[00:22:27] Bernardo do Campo, the road is good, but it's
[00:22:30] just getting out of the car, the comfort stays
[00:22:33] behind.
[00:22:35] It's 9:10 in the morning now, we are
[00:22:39] 750 m above sea
[00:22:42] level, we are going to start the trail, it's not the best
[00:22:45] day to visit a waterfall, you
[00:22:47] can... see there by the visibility
[00:22:51] 4.5 to go further
[00:22:54] four
[00:22:57] people, a local who knows the secrets of the forest and a biologist are part of the
[00:23:01] team, the first stop is the grandeur
[00:23:04] of the Serra do Mar, the size of this fern
[00:23:07] here, the rain is constant, small streams form
[00:23:10] in normally dry places, the already slippery
[00:23:14] path gets worse, especially on the
[00:23:17] descents, the ascents require more...
[00:23:20] physically tiring, but the descents are more
[00:23:23] dangerous, these rocks are very slippery, the danger
[00:23:27] of slipping
[00:23:27] here,
[00:23:31] we arrived at the top of the waterfall,
[00:23:34] 12:35 PM, more than 3 hours of
[00:23:37] walking, the place is
[00:23:39] wonderful, even with this
[00:23:42] weather, now we can't stay here for long,
[00:23:45] normally there would be some places for us to swim.
[00:23:50] but the guide has already identified that it is dangerous, the water level
[00:23:53] is rising, so there is a risk of a
[00:23:57] flood, a flash flood will sweep everyone away, but today it is not
[00:24:00] safe,
[00:24:02] safety is fundamental if we wanted to advance, a flash
[00:24:06] flood is caused by a sudden intense rain localized
[00:24:10] at the headwaters of a river, the large amount of water
[00:24:15] wave that sweeps away whatever is in its
[00:24:17] path,
[00:24:19] what happened? a rainy day like today, with this man and this
[00:24:23] woman. They disappeared while hiking a trail
[00:24:26] in the Serra do Mar. These images were taken at the beginning of the hike,
[00:24:30] when everyone in the group was together.
[00:24:34] Later, discovered, they were swept away by a flash
[00:24:37] flood while crossing the river.
[00:24:41] According to firefighters, the rope used by them,
[00:24:44] probably broke. The bodies of José de Alencar
[00:24:47] and Marly dos Anjos were
[00:24:50] found,
[00:24:53] a common phenomenon during stormy seasons is one of the biggest
[00:24:57] risks for those who visit waterfalls, it comes
[00:25:00] suddenly, right, we pay attention to these small pieces of evidence to be able to
[00:25:03] get out of danger, that's the
[00:25:06] best thing, here we are safe, here we are
[00:25:09] safe,
[00:25:11] a frequent situation in the Serra do Mar, the weather changes at
[00:25:15] any moment, the waterfall can still be
[00:25:18] revealed.
[00:25:21] ambition so close to large centers leaves no doubt about the
[00:25:25] importance of private areas for
[00:25:27] animals, for plants, for the air we
[00:25:30] breathe and the water we drink.
[00:25:46] Air Europa, you decide.
[00:25:52] September 15, 2026, a historic
[00:25:55] day for Brazilian justice, for the first time the
[00:25:58] Supreme Federal Court discusses whether a minister of the Court itself should
[00:26:02] be investigated. The plenary began today the analysis of the
[00:26:06] Federal Police report that gathered more than 50
[00:26:09] messages exchanged between Alexandre de Moraes and the
[00:26:12] former banker of Master Daniel Vorcaro. The session
[00:26:16] was tense and marked by arguments and accusations between the
[00:26:19] ministers. Diastofole and Cássio Nunes Marques declared
[00:26:23] themselves impeded and did not participate in the vote.
[00:26:27] Gilmar Mendes suggested unifying the analyses of opening
[00:26:30] investigations against Moraes Mendonça.
[00:26:32] The discussion would be for next week and the proposal went to a
[00:26:35] vote. The score was 4 to 3 for the division
[00:26:39] of cases, but Minister Flávio Dino requested a view and paralyzed the
[00:26:43] work. All about this unprecedented judgment and the unprecedented
[00:26:47] crisis in the Supreme from now on in the Record News.
[00:27:03] The Supreme Court session that decides if Alexandre de Moraes can be
[00:27:07] investigated began with two ministers opting not to
[00:27:10] vote and immediately afterwards there were arguments and
[00:27:14] exchanges of accusations.
[00:27:17] At the opening of the session, the president of the Court, Edson Faquim, made a
[00:27:21] defense of the Supreme Federal Court. I open
[00:27:24] this session. Aware that the
[00:27:28] presidency and this collegial body have
[00:27:31] before them the duty
[00:27:34] to lead this tribunal through a
[00:27:37] difficult period in its history, we do not have the
[00:27:41] right to deliver to future generations
[00:27:44] a Supreme Federal Court smaller than
[00:27:47] the one we received. Minister Nunes Marques declared
[00:27:51] himself impeded from voting. So, as president
[00:27:54] of the TSE, I don't feel
[00:27:58] comfortable participating in this judgment and I affirm my
[00:28:02] impediment, Minister Diaz Tófoli also decided not to
[00:28:05] vote, I felt an obligation
[00:28:08] also to preserve the
[00:28:11] court to declare my
[00:28:14] suspicion for reasons of intimate forum, not
[00:28:18] impediment, former rapporteur of the Master case, he had already declared
[00:28:21] himself suspicious when the investigations pointed to business
[00:28:25] involving the sale of his stake in the
[00:28:27] Taiá
[00:28:29] resort in Paraná,
[00:28:32] to submit
[00:29:15] an institution that already lives all the problems
[00:29:18] it
[00:29:23] has, to this type of embarrassment
[00:29:27] is a lack of sense,
[00:29:30] of a gravity. that I have never seen. Minister
[00:29:34] Luiz Fux commented on André Mendonça's decision to remove the
[00:29:38] Federal Police Director-General, Andrei Rodrigues, on suspicion that
[00:29:41] he was working on a document that investigated Mendonça's
[00:29:44] life. We must have judicial
[00:29:47] responsibility. No one can allow an
[00:29:50] agency to work against the Supreme Federal Court.
[00:29:54] Challenging a Supreme Federal Court minister. A parallel
[00:29:57] Federal Police. In his first statement in the
[00:30:00] session.
[00:30:20] demanded that the Federal Police put a colleague in the plea bargain
[00:30:24] let's bring here president, let's
[00:30:28] bring here and call here witnesses that
[00:30:31] I will indicate. not only police officers,
[00:30:34] lawyers, witnesses, I have
[00:30:38] witnesses that Minister
[00:30:41] André in a meeting said:
[00:30:45] This is a lie, criticizing the conduct of the case, Gilmar Mendes
[00:30:48] stated that there was an electoral bias in the way the process was
[00:30:52] conducted, it is
[00:30:53] evident,
[00:30:56] even stones know.
