Decade of Destruction - The Politicians
It was Brazil's politicians who saw the Amazon as the answer to their prayers. Here was the world's richest storehouse of raw materials and all over Brazil were millions of poor people who would come to help exploit it. Until 1989 hundreds of thousands of square miles of rainforest were burned. Orders were given to stop deforestation in Amazonia. With the help of satellite photographs and helicopters the battle to save the world's richest heritage of biodiversity and evolution has begun.
