Sad stuff. Thank you for raising awareness. I can't help feeling we're going over the cliff as I breathe smoke from Canada.

This is such a sad story of environmental degradation and colonial capitalism and human rights abuse.

Not to mention that Amazon soils are generally rather poor and you will not get many "plantation crops" before the soils are exhausted and then begin to look just like the corresponding land across the Atlantic: The Sahara. Is this what you call "developing" a country? This is another venture that gives Progress a very bad reputation.
