    Maybe, just maybe, Brazil shouldn’t keep chopping down rainforest to extract iron/oil and grow soybean/chicken/cow? Brazil needs to rapidly industrialized their economy because resource exploitation is clearly unsustainable.

      Wouldn’t the low cost raw material extracted from the forests be a factor responsible for this?
