00:00:42In today's Record News series, you will get to know the Serra do Mar, this is
00:00:45a place where a green wall that ends up separating
00:00:49the Atlantic Ocean from part of the Brazilian territory also houses
00:00:52thousands of animals such as tapirs, jaguars and
00:00:56venomous snakes.
00:01:07a green wall of 1500
00:01:09km.
00:01:13The Serra do Mar stretches from Espírito Santo to
00:01:16northern Rio Grande do Sul.
00:01:20Cradle of the Atlantic Forest, refuge of
00:01:231361 species of
00:01:25animals.
00:01:28383 my...
00:01:34We are in Ubatuba, the last city on the north coast of São Paulo,
00:01:37our destination today is the Água Branca waterfall, the sixth largest in the
00:01:41country and we have to go quickly, because it's 5 km of
00:01:44climb, it's windy and with rain forecast for later,
00:01:48I hope it doesn't rain on the way
00:01:49right?
00:01:53The trails start wide and
00:01:55woman near easy, but soon after the forest becomes dense
00:01:58and the path becomes.
00:02:01The water is always by our side, or even in the middle of the
00:02:05path, it hasn't even been 10 minutes of
00:02:08walking, we are already
00:02:09wet.
00:02:12Serra do Mar is home to the sources of many rivers that cut through
00:02:16southeastern Brazil. The waters of the
00:02:19Tietê river, for example, which bathe 62 municipalities
00:02:23in São Paulo, sprout from it. The Iguaçu river, which supplies
00:02:25Paraná, also originates in the mountains. Listen to the
00:02:29sound. It's the entire trail listening to this
00:02:32sound, it's the water flowing down,
00:02:36when we reached 100 m above sea level, we entered the
00:02:39area of the state park, the section of the
00:02:42Picinguaba nucleus, it shelters a high
00:02:45biodiversity, there are records, right, of mammals,
00:02:49of primates, here there is a lot of occurrence of the southern muriqui,
00:02:52it is an endangered
00:02:56primate. On the trail, the vegetation is very dense.
00:03:00It's hard to see the animals, but they see us
00:03:02and
00:03:04some
00:03:08jararaca snake on the trail, I almost stepped on it,
00:03:12I don't even know exactly how I avoided stepping here, I think I noticed the
00:03:15movement, instinctively I pulled my foot away, it
00:03:19prepared to strike, but didn't strike by a lot of luck I
00:03:22had, the rattle
00:03:25suddenly forms a kind of so to speak, it's making a warning system like don't
00:03:29approach. that it's watching
00:03:31us, it's sensing the heat, in fact it
00:03:35senses it through the pit it has and notice that it is the
00:03:39coloration of the leaves, this is a system of both the
00:03:42Handling complaints Jararaca and the Jaracu that practically cannot be
00:03:45perceived without movement, if anyone
00:03:48here were bitten, the damage would be enormous, because the jararaca is
00:03:52venomous, it has a potent venom, the most
00:03:55common consequences are pain and swelling, but in more
00:03:59severe cases, it can even lead to death if help takes too
00:04:03long, it is prepared. Brazil registers an average of
00:04:0726,000 snake accidents per year, most of them not
00:04:10serious. Jararacas are responsible for
00:04:1470% of bites in humans in the country and
00:04:1790% in the state of São Paulo. The one
00:04:20there, that we found on the trail, is about 1 meter long and
00:04:24got very close to us.
00:04:27In the Serra do Mar, many animals use these... enormous trees to
00:04:31camouflage themselves, look at the size of this
00:04:34fig tree, look at that, you can stay here
00:04:37inside, easily more than 20
00:04:40m, imagine how long it's been here, some
00:04:44of them are centuries old, in the past this trail was used by
00:04:48residents of communities who walked from Ubatuba on the
00:04:51coast, to Vargem Grande Paulista in the metropolitan region of São
00:04:54Paulo,
00:04:59under one of these trees, a
00:05:01surprise:
00:05:04I had never seen a naturally colored
00:05:08egg, and look there, this one is between green and
00:05:12blue. People commented that it is a macuco
00:05:14egg,
00:05:16macuco is this friendly bird that lives in the
00:05:18Atlantic forest, closer and closer to the waterfall,
00:05:22anxiety takes over and with fatigue, slips are
00:05:26inevitable, oh it hit
00:05:28exactly,
00:05:32everyone exhausted and
00:05:34we at some moments the
00:05:37groups move away a little so we stop and
00:05:41wait for the other.
00:06:12appears up there and has two drops, here
00:06:16below, crystal clear water, without pollution, it's hard to
00:06:20resist,
00:06:30the dive revives, the guide, one of the park
00:06:33monitors, keeps looking at the waterfall all the
00:06:36time, he grew up at the foot of the Serra do Mar and gets emotional,
00:06:40he makes a point of emphasizing how much this grandeur
00:06:44represents for those who come here for the first time and
00:06:47especially for those who are already used to it, but are part
00:06:50of the communities of the Serra, very emotional,
00:06:54because these are my roots and I think we can't
00:06:58let this die.
00:07:17Lobinhos, tapirs
00:07:20and jaguars, many
00:07:22jaguars.
00:07:27These images were captured in a forest, but not in the
00:07:30Amazon. We are in the Serra do Mar, just over
00:07:332 hours from the city of São Paulo. The
00:07:37largest private environmental reserve of Atlantic Forest in
00:07:40Brazil.
00:07:43a green area of 31,000 hectares, almost the same
00:07:47size as Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais. This trail
00:07:50is called Tikun,
00:07:53because Tikun is the name of a jaguar that has been sighted here
00:07:56a few times and this is our objective,
00:08:00to find Ticun, actually, Tikun, because it's a
00:08:03male.
00:08:07The tracks appear immediately. Here, what we're probably seeing is a
00:08:11scrape, which is a... territory marking of jaguars
00:08:14and here we have a small area that is clean, right, as if someone
00:08:18had dragged, swept
00:08:20it,
00:08:24it wasn't just jaguars that passed through where we are, according to the biologist,
00:08:28oh, people found a footprint here, whose footprint? this
00:08:32here is probably a deer footprint, jaguar
00:08:35food, jaguar food, so it's a good sign that this trail is used
00:08:39by both jaguar food and jaguars because we've already seen the scratch.
00:08:50these sharp claw marks on a tree, although there are a lot
00:08:54of animals here, it's difficult
00:08:57dense, very closed, so researchers set
00:09:01traps, image traps with
00:09:05cameras like this here in the reserve region in two
00:09:08years there were 385
00:09:12records of
00:09:13pumas
00:09:18with the analysis of the sightings it was possible to identify 5 jaguars,
00:09:21among them is Ticum and Dengoso
00:09:25that you can already guess why the name
00:09:27right?
00:09:29The biologist believes there are still more, I have this
00:09:32estimate that there are at least 10 pumas circulating within
00:09:36the
00:09:36reserve.
00:09:42the second largest feline in Brazil, the first is the jaguar that can exceed
00:09:462 meters and weigh over 100 kg, by these cameras
00:09:50the species has never been caught, but near here at
00:09:53Adenir's place yes, at that time dogs
00:09:57in the region were starting to
00:09:59disappear, in fact a week before my dog disappeared and the
00:10:03following Sunday
00:10:05I looked at the camera and that giant cat, right, it was a
00:10:09jaguar indeed, right?
00:10:13Another feline that has been studied in the reserve is the
00:10:15ocelot. 24 have already been
00:10:18identified.
00:10:21The peccaries, a species of wild pig, were interested in the equipment.
00:10:26The opossum faces the ocelot,
00:10:29the snail kite hunts the snake, high
00:10:33in the trees, no need for hidden cameras, some
00:10:37capuchin monkeys don't mind our presence, exuberant
00:10:40nature and preservation that guarantees
00:10:43development, if in the past preservation did not combine with
00:10:47economic development, this is now the
00:10:51opposite, conserving this biome and expanding it is...
00:10:55vital for our health as a population and for future
00:10:59generations,
00:11:04we continue on the trail of the jaguar or some other animal, what is it
00:11:07Stephany? here is a tapir
00:11:09footprint,
00:11:13the camera archives leave no doubt, they passed
00:11:17here, opa, opa, here we have
00:11:20Mrs. Tapir, maybe even from that
00:11:24track there, exactly.
00:11:30Even two rare albino tapirs have been registered,
00:11:33they are called Gasparzinho and
00:11:35Canjiquinha. It is not a new species, but a genetic
00:11:39mutation. Within the reserve, tapirs are protected,
00:11:43but outside they are at risk. The animal that can reach
00:11:46300 kg is on the red list,
00:11:49of those threatened with
00:11:51extinction.
00:11:55Near here, in São Miguel do Arcanjo, also in the Ribeira Valley, researchers
00:11:58face a conflicting scenario with the
00:12:01aim of saving lives. Tapirs are
00:12:04targeted by hunting, right, even commercial, we have
00:12:08problems with vehicle collision and conflict situations, right, which
00:12:11today is a threat in the Serra do Mar, right, the tapirs enter cultivation areas
00:12:15and end up being killed or threatened by
00:12:19this.
00:12:22The city in the southwest of the state is a hub for fruit production, but a hungry
00:12:26tapir can eat up to 40 kg in one night,
00:12:30it causes a lot of damage,
00:12:32because besides walking, the grape bunches are ripe,
00:12:36it's big, it passes rubbing against it, it passes under this wire,
00:12:40for the judge, for the producer
00:12:42right?
00:12:46To prevent animals from eating the fruits, farmers and
00:12:49researchers united and adopted electric
00:12:52fences, they have an adequate voltage. to keep
00:12:55the tapirs away and were installed in two grape plantations, the
00:12:59image traps show the result: the tapir
00:13:03approaches, touches and goes
00:13:05away,
00:13:08but there's another project, it seeks to protect tapirs in an even
00:13:12more subtle way. The main objective with the observation
00:13:16of tapirs, especially here in the region, is to try to act a little in the
00:13:20mitigation of conflict with the small producers in the
00:13:23surroundings.
00:13:25The observation of tapirs is so common here that biologists managed to record
00:13:29their communication with the caracaras: the Tapir
00:13:32carrapateiros: a Anta
00:13:34vocalizes
00:13:37the caracara makes a sound immediately after.
00:13:41Lands on the tapir and picks up the ticks stuck to its
00:13:44fur. We stayed in ambush to see if we could catch
00:13:48any, it gets dark nothing until
00:13:52we were preparing
00:13:55to leave when it appeared, with the encounter we bid
00:13:59farewell to this refuge of tapirs in the Serra do Mar,
00:14:14intense training,
00:14:16wet,
00:14:20day or night
00:14:23for men and women.
00:14:27The location this time in the mountain that bears the sea's name
00:14:31could not be otherwise, close to the coast, this valley is in a
00:14:35green strip very close to the industrial pole of
00:14:38Cubatão. The protection of the forest is made by
00:14:41true mountainous
00:14:43walls.
00:14:45And many times the person comes here and is not
00:14:49prepared and has a plan, they think it will
00:14:53be easy like going to a park
00:14:55here in the city, but these are occurrences that happen with a
00:14:59certain
00:14:59frequency,
00:15:03some people think the Serra do Mar is a barrier, a true
00:15:07wall, and for those who think it's not cold here, they are
00:15:10mistaken, up high the temperature can
00:15:14reach -3 degrees and with a lot of
00:15:17fog, the dense forest also confuses and makes the
00:15:21forest even darker.
00:15:25It is in this scenario of intact nature that 19
00:15:28men and one woman from the fire department prepare
00:15:32for difficult rescues, they are the ones
00:15:35who protect the area.
00:15:4040 minutes of dirt road, we finally arrived
00:15:44here, look at the place where the firefighters set up the command
00:15:48post, from here on it's all walking
00:15:52on the trail, how many nights do you spend here in the forest?
00:15:55in this training we do two nights and
00:15:59three days, how do you set this up, how do you choose this
00:16:02location? we try to look for it near trees
00:16:06to make a more... natural shelter we use tarpaulins
00:16:09to protect from bad weather and the tents are simple camping tents
00:16:13and inside the tent we have a cot it's a bed so he doesn't have to be on the ground
00:16:17directly the training
00:16:21takes place within a radius of 2 to 3 km from this
00:16:24point but the students don't stay here they are
00:16:28camped on the other side of this river on the other
00:16:32bank
00:16:34on the skin the marks of frequent contact with
00:16:38humidity and how they enter and exit the streams
00:16:40the
00:16:43group has already received what mission they have to fulfill, there are four victims
00:16:47who are lost and need help, but now they have 10
00:16:50minutes right captain to organize the equipment they can take 8
00:16:54minutes now
00:17:06there will be... psychological exhaustion,
00:17:09studies prove that stress experienced in training
00:17:13is similar or greater than in a real
00:17:17activity, these are stressful situations like
00:17:21this,
00:17:28firefighters took 9 hours to rescue a 34-year-old
00:17:33where we are in the Serra do Mar, at night she fell from
00:17:36a stone slope next to this
00:17:39waterfall, these photos and this video show the
00:17:42exact moment of the successful rescue, the victim had
00:17:46to be winched by helicopter, the stretcher
00:17:49used was like this,
00:17:52in addition to rappelling, firefighters also use a lot of another rescue
00:17:56technique, the zip line, come on guys,
00:18:00the chair is not on the other side yet, it's
00:18:04positive to transfer the rhythm here.
00:18:08The mission is to cross this river and rescue men
00:18:11stranded at the limit of hunger and
00:18:14cold, it is one of the most
00:18:16challenging, because any error can cause
00:18:20the firefighter, can end up being the
00:18:23victim.
00:18:27They rescue the group in
00:18:28danger.
00:18:40"Everyone is bending down now we don't even know exactly where
00:18:43it came from, a chase in the middle of the
00:18:46forest, they found another
00:18:49trap here, if they found anything, we'll get their anecause,
00:18:53nature and the beauties of the Serra do Mar
00:18:57attract adventurers, tourists, but also
00:19:00hunters, they usually hunt paca,
00:19:04armadillo,
00:19:06the mission..." It begins in this room, in Guaratinguetá, in the
00:19:10Paraíba Valley, interior of São Paulo. Before going to the
00:19:14jungle, the platoon commander gives the
00:19:16instructions.
00:19:20regarding hunting in the municipality of Cunha, both
00:19:22hunting and irregular palm heart
00:19:26extraction. Environmental Police cars speed off
00:19:30to one of the most preserved points of the
00:19:33park, until reaching the trail, a lot of mud.
00:19:40police action, bulletproof vests and these leggings
00:19:44to prevent snake bites, so as not to attract
00:19:47the attention of suspects, cell phones are
00:19:50turned off, it doesn't take long for the first
00:19:53trace to appear, what did you find here? it's a trace
00:19:57of people who passed here probably,
00:20:00this footprint here, probably hunters leave this mark
00:20:04here to indicate that you should turn to such a place, right? the police officer who goes
00:20:08ahead, he identifies them and guides the other
00:20:10officers, but the rain intensifies, making
00:20:14our team's walk in the middle of the
00:20:17forest difficult.
00:20:22On the way, the police find this different
00:20:25trap to hunt a very skittish animal, there's a
00:20:29police officer who comes in front and looks for
00:20:33traps, other things, this here, look, a trap for
00:20:37hunting... the animal enters to get out
00:20:40of the den and it closes, it can't get out anymore here,
00:20:44fortunately it hadn't captured any, a little
00:20:47later the police find this other...
00:21:51unforeseen events, Bruno's boot, our drone operator
00:21:54opened and
00:21:57difficulties, on this trail we go up, down six
00:22:00hills, this is just the first little climb,
00:22:04until reaching a wonderful
00:22:06place,
00:22:10all next to the largest city in the country, between the movement
00:22:14of greater São Paulo and the coastal lowlands
00:22:17the more.
00:22:20a preserved refuge of the Atlantic Forest in the Serra do
00:22:23Mar, until the entrance of the park, in the city of São
00:22:27Bernardo do Campo, the road is good, but it's
00:22:30just getting out of the car, the comfort stays
00:22:33behind.
00:22:35It's 9:10 in the morning now, we are
00:22:39750 m above sea
00:22:42level, we are going to start the trail, it's not the best
00:22:45day to visit a waterfall, you
00:22:47can... see there by the visibility
00:22:514.5 to go further
00:22:54four
00:22:57people, a local who knows the secrets of the forest and a biologist are part of the
00:23:01team, the first stop is the grandeur
00:23:04of the Serra do Mar, the size of this fern
00:23:07here, the rain is constant, small streams form
00:23:10in normally dry places, the already slippery
00:23:14path gets worse, especially on the
00:23:17descents, the ascents require more...
00:23:20physically tiring, but the descents are more
00:23:23dangerous, these rocks are very slippery, the danger
00:23:27of slipping
00:23:27here,
00:23:31we arrived at the top of the waterfall,
00:23:3412:35 PM, more than 3 hours of
00:23:37walking, the place is
00:23:39wonderful, even with this
00:23:42weather, now we can't stay here for long,
00:23:45normally there would be some places for us to swim.
00:23:50but the guide has already identified that it is dangerous, the water level
00:23:53is rising, so there is a risk of a
00:23:57flood, a flash flood will sweep everyone away, but today it is not
00:24:00safe,
00:24:02safety is fundamental if we wanted to advance, a flash
00:24:06flood is caused by a sudden intense rain localized
00:24:10at the headwaters of a river, the large amount of water
00:24:15wave that sweeps away whatever is in its
00:24:17path,
00:24:19what happened? a rainy day like today, with this man and this
00:24:23woman. They disappeared while hiking a trail
00:24:26in the Serra do Mar. These images were taken at the beginning of the hike,
00:24:30when everyone in the group was together.
00:24:34Later, discovered, they were swept away by a flash
00:24:37flood while crossing the river.
00:24:41According to firefighters, the rope used by them,
00:24:44probably broke. The bodies of José de Alencar
00:24:47and Marly dos Anjos were
00:24:50found,
00:24:53a common phenomenon during stormy seasons is one of the biggest
00:24:57risks for those who visit waterfalls, it comes
00:25:00suddenly, right, we pay attention to these small pieces of evidence to be able to
00:25:03get out of danger, that's the
00:25:06best thing, here we are safe, here we are
00:25:09safe,
00:25:11a frequent situation in the Serra do Mar, the weather changes at
00:25:15any moment, the waterfall can still be
00:25:18revealed.
00:25:21ambition so close to large centers leaves no doubt about the
00:25:25importance of private areas for
00:25:27animals, for plants, for the air we
00:25:30breathe and the water we drink.
00:25:46Air Europa, you decide.
00:25:52September 15, 2026, a historic
00:25:55day for Brazilian justice, for the first time the
00:25:58Supreme Federal Court discusses whether a minister of the Court itself should
00:26:02be investigated. The plenary began today the analysis of the
00:26:06Federal Police report that gathered more than 50
00:26:09messages exchanged between Alexandre de Moraes and the
00:26:12former banker of Master Daniel Vorcaro. The session
00:26:16was tense and marked by arguments and accusations between the
00:26:19ministers. Diastofole and Cássio Nunes Marques declared
00:26:23themselves impeded and did not participate in the vote.
00:26:27Gilmar Mendes suggested unifying the analyses of opening
00:26:30investigations against Moraes Mendonça.
00:26:32The discussion would be for next week and the proposal went to a
00:26:35vote. The score was 4 to 3 for the division
00:26:39of cases, but Minister Flávio Dino requested a view and paralyzed the
00:26:43work. All about this unprecedented judgment and the unprecedented
00:26:47crisis in the Supreme from now on in the Record News.
00:27:03The Supreme Court session that decides if Alexandre de Moraes can be
00:27:07investigated began with two ministers opting not to
00:27:10vote and immediately afterwards there were arguments and
00:27:14exchanges of accusations.
00:27:17At the opening of the session, the president of the Court, Edson Faquim, made a
00:27:21defense of the Supreme Federal Court. I open
00:27:24this session. Aware that the
00:27:28presidency and this collegial body have
00:27:31before them the duty
00:27:34to lead this tribunal through a
00:27:37difficult period in its history, we do not have the
00:27:41right to deliver to future generations
00:27:44a Supreme Federal Court smaller than
00:27:47the one we received. Minister Nunes Marques declared
00:27:51himself impeded from voting. So, as president
00:27:54of the TSE, I don't feel
00:27:58comfortable participating in this judgment and I affirm my
00:28:02impediment, Minister Diaz Tófoli also decided not to
00:28:05vote, I felt an obligation
00:28:08also to preserve the
00:28:11court to declare my
00:28:14suspicion for reasons of intimate forum, not
00:28:18impediment, former rapporteur of the Master case, he had already declared
00:28:21himself suspicious when the investigations pointed to business
00:28:25involving the sale of his stake in the
00:28:27Taiá
00:28:29resort in Paraná,
00:28:32to submit
00:29:15an institution that already lives all the problems
00:29:18it
00:29:23has, to this type of embarrassment
00:29:27is a lack of sense,
00:29:30of a gravity. that I have never seen. Minister
00:29:34Luiz Fux commented on André Mendonça's decision to remove the
00:29:38Federal Police Director-General, Andrei Rodrigues, on suspicion that
00:29:41he was working on a document that investigated Mendonça's
00:29:44life. We must have judicial
00:29:47responsibility. No one can allow an
00:29:50agency to work against the Supreme Federal Court.
00:29:54Challenging a Supreme Federal Court minister. A parallel
00:29:57Federal Police. In his first statement in the
00:30:00session.
00:30:20demanded that the Federal Police put a colleague in the plea bargain
00:30:24let's bring here president, let's
00:30:28bring here and call here witnesses that
00:30:31I will indicate. not only police officers,
00:30:34lawyers, witnesses, I have
00:30:38witnesses that Minister
00:30:41André in a meeting said:
00:30:45This is a lie, criticizing the conduct of the case, Gilmar Mendes
00:30:48stated that there was an electoral bias in the way the process was
00:30:52conducted, it is
00:30:53evident,
00:30:56even stones know.
