Dead Forests of Rondonia
This posting consists simply of views from the bus traveling from Porto Velho to Cuiaba through Rondonia. It focuses on the evidence of forest destruction in the dead forests resulting from indiscriminate deforestation of the Southern Amazon to create large agribusiness plots and ranching land in combination with massive logging of the native hardwoods. The images speak for themselves.
