How to Save the Amazon - A journalist's deadly quest for answers

An urgent work of reportage which takes the reader deep inside the Amazon rainforest, and shows that even if you kill a journalist, you cannot silence a story.

About the author

Dom Phillips was a highly experienced and award-winning British freelance journalist. He moved to Brazil in 2007 and wrote extensively for British and American newspapers such as The Guardian and Washington Post. In 2021 he was awarded an Alicia Patterson Foundation fellowship for his book project How to Save the Amazon, and made the 2021 Cissy Patterson Environmental Fellow. In June 2022, Dom Phillips and Brazilian Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira were killed in a remote part of the Amazon while Dom was researching this book. In 2023, How to Save the Amazon was awarded a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant by the Whiting Foundation, and in 2024 Dom's widow, Alessandra Sampaio, set up the Dom Phillips Institute in his memory. At the request of Alessandra and Dom's relatives, the unfinished work on the book was completed by a dedicated team of international writers and journalists brought together by Jonathan Watts, The Guardian's Environment Correspondent.
