Description

Singer and songwriter Sting is campaigning to help save a tribe of South American Indians from losing their rainforest home. The tribe is appealing to Europe for money to make the site into a National Park, which would be the size of four European countries. Two Indian tribe leaders, Kayapo, Raoni Metuktire and Dakota Sioux, Red Crow, came together to discuss the problem. Sting has written off the idea of doing a charity record. Male reporter not identified.
