I read an article repeating that the highway was built with COP 30 as justification. Having learned that Brazil planned oil extraction auctions, that doesn't surprise me, and I bought that. Thank you Chris for debunking the truth and fighting against climate misinformation.

Well, Chris, why not at least offer a pragmatic "solution" for the animal migration?? Between the fragmented forest parcels of Switzerland, the government also engineers special bridges just for the deer, foxes, wild pigs, mountain lions, and frogs to cross over our highways. In certain spaces we also have dedicated volunteers that build low cloth walls to catch wondering toads and frogs so that they also can be safely transported to lay their eggs. Surely Brazil have enough intelligent inhabitants that can aid their wildlife???

Thanks Alice. The road has walls to prevent wildlife going on to the road and there are lots of animal crossings - from the post above:

"Pará’s governor, Helder Barbalho, told The Guardian that the road was being built to high environmental standards, with walls to prevent roadkill, and many animal crossings."
