The Lost Brazil:
City of Parintins, Amazonas, november, 11/2010.
In this photo, part of a "Castanheira" tree. At least, 50(fifty) of these "centenary" trees were cutted to construct residential quarters in the district of Parintins. The question is who gave the ambiental licenses to do that. Where is the government that consents and allows that?  
A new and creative architecture is necessary to occupy the spaces inside the rainforest area. A new way of life and mentality, a new approach on urbanization is needed, but people are not evoluted and ready for that, so they are destroying the rainforest. Ignorance is destroiyng the rainforest.
