Description

A barge loaded with huge logs and trucks near Santarém (PA). There has been much debate about the current and future development of the Amazon region. Ecological devastation, the proper role of multinational mining and agricultural firms, migration policy, and land tenure are all issues that the Brazilian government must address if it wishes to coherently develop the region and preserve one of the world's great natural wonders.Uma barcaça carregada de enormes troncos e caminhões perto de Santarém (PA). Tem havido muito debate acerca do presente e futuro desenvolvimento da Região Amazónica. A devastação ecológica, o papel apropriado da mineração multinacional e das companhias de agricultura, a política de imigração e a apropriação de terras são questões que o governo brasileiro deve enfrentar se a preocupação for de desenvolver a região de forma coerente e assim preservar uma das riquezes naturais mais fantásticas do mundo.
