Road to Destruction
Plans to complete a controversial road through the Amazon have environmentalists up in arms. They worry the road will make it easier for the rest of the Amazon to be exploited.
At present, farmers in the Amazon struggle to ship their crops to market. This is one of the key factors limiting deforestation. But the government wants to complete a 1,000 mile road which is cutting straight through the Amazon. As one driver states; "you will be able to get everything out so the rainforest will be totally destroyed".
