Reply to:(via BCC) The Brazilian congress is now voting on aproject that will reduce the Amazon forest to 50% of its size.(YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THAT GREENPEACE IS TODAY BOYCOTTINGHARDWOOD FROM THE REGION).The area to be deforested is 4 times the sizeof Portugal and would be mainly used for agriculture and pastures forlivestock...All the wood is to be sold to international markets inthe form of wood chips, by multinational companies...The truth is that the soil in the Amazon forest isuseless without the forest itself. Its quality is very acidic and theregion is prone to constant floods.At this time more than 160.000 square kilometresdeforested with the same purpose, are abandoned and in the process ofbecoming deserts.
