    This article presents a discursive reading of publications from the news portal UOL about the Special Assembly of the Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazon region, held between October 6 and 27, 2019, in the Vatican, focusing on environmental issues, based on the framework of the French discourse analysis of pecheutian orientation, from the perspective of Eni Puccinelli Orlandi. Nine reports were analyzed using Orlandi’s four analytical categories: memory and conditions of production, paraphrase and polysemy, discursive formation, and the said and unsaid. In the discourse, themes such as colonization, exploitation, environmental and ecological crisis, environmental sustainability, social justice, indigenous peoples’ rights, political conflicts, and integral ecology stood out. The narrative positions the Amazon not only as a geographical territory but as a central symbol of the contemporary environmental crisis.
