    "Amazon Rainforest Unique places of interest There are several places to go in the Amazon rainforest; it would probably be difficult to know all of them. A good start is visiting the Brazilian national parks in the region, most of them don't have much infrastructure for tourists but this is quickly being developed and you should find very good conditions by the end of 2005."

  • Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 square kilometers of forest—an area larger than Greece—and since 1970, over 600,000 square kilometers (232,000 square miles) of Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. Why is Brazil losing so much forest? What can be done to slow deforestation?
  • n many tropical countries, the majority of deforestation results from the actions of poor subsistence cultivators. However, in Brazil only about one-third of recent deforestation can be linked to "shifted" cultivators

  • ...4 more annotations...
  • "The fair gave us a notion of the size of the global organic market, and provided a basis for comparing packing and product quality.
  • Species such as the Brazil nut, guarana and buriti are native of the Amazon Portal
  • In addition to products to be supplied to large urban centers, BioAgrepa manufactures organic foodstuffs for the rural communities themselves. Dairy products, chicken, cassava, vegetables, sweets, and fruit are supplied to small supermarkets and for school meals, benefiting 25,000 students in the public teaching system and nurseries in nine municipalities in the north of the state of Mato Grosso, in the Midwest.
  • And tens of thousands more are making very little money,when paid, to make charcoal and work as slaves !!!!!!!! Showing a little piece of the reality...IS NOT THE REALITY !!!!

  • Manaus, Brazil, emerged as an important port city in the nineteenth century during the rubber boom. Today, with more than 1.7 million inhabitants, it is the largest city in the Amazon Basin. It is located on the banks of the Rio Negro (darker, to the left) at that river's confluence with the Amazon River (lighter, to the right). Although it is 1450 kilometers upstream from the Atlantic Ocean, Manaus remains an important port city for oceangoing vessels. It currently exports rubber, Brazil nuts, lumber, and various fruits. Recent discoveries of oil and manganese (used in steel production) may further invigorate its economy. Surrounding this city for hundreds of kilometers in all directions is dense rainforest. Because there are no bridges spanning the rivers in the vicinity of Manaus, ships are used to transport goods across these rivers.
