This will take less than a minute to read. If inspired to do so, please
add your name and send this on. Brazilian congress is now voting on a
project that will reduce the Amazon forest to 50% of its size.
The area to be deforested is 4 times the size of Portugal and would be
mainly used for agriculture and pastures for livestock.
All the wood is to be sold to international markets in the form of
wood chips, by multinational companies. The truth is that the soil in
the
Amazon forest is useless without the forest itself. Its quality
is very acidic and the region is prone to constant floods. At this
time more than 160.000 square kilometres deforested with the same
purpose, are abandoned and in the process of becoming deserts. We cannot
let this
happen.
