A 1985 Environmental & Travel Study of Amazon Rainforest Conservation, Mining, and Politics

Journalists Brian Kelly and Mark London record an extensive investigation through the South American Amazon basin during the early 1980s. Traveling by riverboat, bush plane, and jeep across Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, the authors document the rapid encroachment of highway construction, gold mining, cattle ranching, and industrial logging on the rainforest.

Their account pairs field reporting with interviews among rubber tappers, indigenous leaders, politicians, and homesteaders, exposing the economic forces driving rainforest destruction.

Why You’ll Love This Book
