I Bought My Own RainforestS1 Ep3

Nine Months on and the project has hit rock-bottom. Unable to secure his land because of a squatter called Elias, Charlie had planned to evict him. But having now met his family and his disabled daughter, Heidi, Charlie is fast learning that any solution must also include this poor peasant family. With poverty and population putting huge pressure on the rainforest, Charlie heads off to Brazil and the epicentre of deforestation to confront his nightmare vision of the future. Eventually, Charlie and Elias decide to begin a project that sees them working together rather than battling one another, planting trees, and heading towards a sustainable future for this one patch of precious rainforest.
