Says the book How We Build Roads: “The Trans - Amazonian Highway, though undertaken in the name of progress, destroyed large areas of rainforest and was a disaster for many of the people living in the forest, as it destroyed their whole way of life. ”
Raamat ” How We Build Roads ” ütleb: ” Kuigi läbi Amazonase rajatud maantee pidi tooma kasu, hävitas see suured alad vihmametsades ning tõi häda paljudele selle metsaaladel elavatele inimestele, kuna see rikkus ära kogu nende eluviisi. ”
