Featured Project: The Amazon

We ventured deep into the Amazon for Brazil's high-stakes 2022 election, and again in 2025 when the country hosted international climate negotiations. I lead production on cross-platform content from concept to delivery, working across CBC's editorial, finance and security teams. Once in the field, I coordinated coverage, and operated as a journalist, field producer and director. Stories ranged from tracking down illegal fires in Rondônia, to camping with researchers in Amazonas, to meeting with Indigenous leaders in Amapá. Below is a small selection of the content we produced.

Brazilian land grabbers have set tens of thousands of illegal fires in the Amazon rainforest in the name of expanding the country’s agribusiness, but scientists warn that expansion will have a devastating impact on climate change.

Parts of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest saw more wildfires in February than in all of 2023 — and that was already a bad year. CBC’s Susan Ormiston breaks down why this is happening and why it could signal a devastating tipping point for the rainforest.
