Hylton Murray-Philipson says he contributed to gathering in Brazil because of growing climate threat
A last-minute personal donation from a climate-concerned British farmer enabled the meeting of hundreds of Brazil’s Indigenous people to go ahead in the Amazon rainforest last week.
Hylton Murray-Philipson, an Eton-educated landowner from Leicestershire, covered a gap in funding of more than £100,000 after another sponsor pulled out of the gathering, which was called by the Kayapo chief Raoni Metuktire.
