A profile of a complex wilderness region discusses the destruction and development of its environment, the vast natural resources, and the conflict between ecological concerns and industrial, ecomonic, and political forces
This book tells of the destruction of the Amazon Rain Forest, written by two research journalists. I read it in 1984. I was just reading parts of it again in 2019 and it’s tragic that none of the research of 35 years ago has made a significant difference. Humans continue the destruction that is described, and continue on a path which will devastate our planet. So sad!
