I think it's important for people to take notice about climate change because it is important for our survival. It's important for everyone's life. I want to do something now before it's too late, and that's why I'm doing this documentary.

Quite frankly, the issue that I'm exploring on my episode is the rainforest. The rainforest is something very personal to me because the largest part of the rainforest is in my country of Brazil. I feel like it's my responsibility as a human being to bring awareness to something that I feel is vital for our existence. I feel like it's the most precious natural resource. This forest is providing a stable life for all of us on the planet, so I think it's everyone's problem.

In my job as a model, I've always been very protective because I never really allow people to put out my voice. My job is very much a visual thing, you know? It's like a picture and it's a frame, and people make assumptions based on that image. But now it's like vulnerable for me because I'm coming out with something that actually is personal to me.

Natural resources are not infinite, you know? There's only so much land, there's only so much water. Greed is an unfortunate trait of the human race, and it's about short-term thinking instead of long-term understanding of the natural process of things. It's so sad to see like this. I mean anybody should know this. I mean it impacts all of us. If we keep being destructive, we're not gonna have the great quality of life that we are used to.
