O GLOBO wins 14th edition of the GDA Journalism Award with report on isolated indigenous peoples in the Amazon

A series of reports by O GLOBO,crying poker face featuring unprecedented images of isolated indigenous groups in the Amazon, has won the 14th edition of the GDA Journalism Award in 2025. This event is organized by the Grupo de Diários América (GDA), which comprises 11 leading newspapers across Latin America. Titled "An Expedition to the Heart of the Amazon to Reveal Isolated Peoples, Previously Invisible to the World," the series, published in December 2024, was honored in the "News or Investigative Reporting" category. The reports, authored by Daniel Biasetto in collaboration with John Reid of the British newspaper The Guardian, documented expeditions by the National Foundation for Indigenous Peoples (Funai) focused on researching and protecting isolated communities, covering over one hundred kilometers in the Amazon rainforest. With the help of automatic cameras installed by Funai in the forest, the report unveiled records of a previously unseen ethnic group in the Massaco indigenous territory, within the Guaporé reserve in Rond?nia. It also confirmed the presence of the isolated Kawahiva people in an unmarked area in Mato Grosso, shedding light on their survival strategies. The investigation by O GLOBO and the Guardian spotlighted the risks facing isolated peoples amid the expansion of agricultural frontiers and the activities of land grabbers and loggers near these lands in the Legal Amazon. The reporters spent five months delving into the historical context of the Kawahiva and Massaco territories, conducting on-site visits. The series highlighted both the success of protection policies for isolated peoples—areas that record the lowest deforestation rates in the Amazon—and the daily tension faced by Funai agents due to pressures from potential intruders. - This investigation showed that Funai's no-contact policy is effective, as there are signs these peoples are thriving. The use of technology is crucial in this unique model of protecting them without making contact. We received authorization to enter the indigenous land and witnessed these images firsthand. Demonstrating that these peoples exist reinforces and justifies the importance of protection policies and the urgency of ensuring demarcations, - states Daniel Biasetto. Funai's current no-contact policy, implemented in the 1980s to prevent the transmission of diseases and other fatalities, had the Massaco territory as its pioneering experience—it was the first to be exclusively protected for isolated populations. Following the publication of the reports, the Lula administration announced plans to finalize the demarcation of the Kawahiva lands in 2025, a goal yet to be realized. Today, Brazil has 29 confirmed isolated communities. There are reports of another 85, which still need to meet evidence collection requirements and complete the bureaucratic process for confirmation by Funai. - I am very grateful for this recognition and the opportunity to work with O GLOBO at a time when environmental and indigenous issues are marginalized in public debates. It's a deeply human topic but with enormous climatic and biological relevance since the tropical forests capable of hosting these societies are the most intact in the world. We trekked through the Kawahiva of Rio Pardo forest, without any trail, for eight days, encountering enormous trees and scenes of breathtaking beauty. The careful mission we accompanied documented fresh traces of these communities, highlighting the fragility of the area, which has not yet been demarcated as indigenous land—a situation unchanged to this day, - says John Reid. O GLOBO also received an honorable mention in the GDA Awards in the "Technology Journalism" category for the report "Imperfectly Human: Why the Body Remains a Barrier for AI Tools?" published in March 2024, authored by reporter Carolina Nalin. The report highlighted the limitations of artificial intelligence tools attempting to reproduce parts of the human body, aiding in distinguishing these images from real photos. Conversely, it showed that the evolution of these tools makes this differentiation between real and fabricated images increasingly challenging, heightening the risks of misinformation on social media. The Argentine newspaper La Nación won the main award in three categories. In "Technology Journalism," the series "Atrapados en las redes" ("Trapped in the Networks") was recognized for exploring the effects of social media use on children and teenagers. In the "Innovative Editorial Proposal" category, the newspaper was honored for creating a new section called "FuturIA," specializing in coverage of topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies. Finally, in the "New Narratives" category, the Argentine newspaper was acknowledged for the project "S.O.S. Animales Argentinos," dedicated to raising environmental awareness and focusing on endangered species in the country. The awards will be presented on October 9, in Miami (USA), during the GDA's semiannual meeting.
