British journalist Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira, a protector of Brazilian Indigenous communities

Brasilia, June 8 (RHC)-- In Brazil, fear is growing over the safety of British journalist Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira, a protector of Brazilian Indigenous communities, after the pair went missing in one of the most remote areas of the Amazon early Sunday.  

Phillips is a longtime freelance reporter for The Guardian and other publications.  Pereira is a former Brazilian government official. The two were last seen while traveling by boat in the northern Brazilian state of Amazonas near the border with Peru. 

Dom Phillips was doing research for a book on the Amazon and was in the region to interview Indigenous leaders patrolling the area for illegal miners and fishers.  And Bruno Pereira had recently received death threats over his work.
