Sometimes ignorance is the best vacation. This report suggests that Massaranduba (or Bulletwood) is being illegally logged on a massive scale, mostly for export to North America. Aside from its substantial contribution to the Amazon Rain Forest, it is a source of "red latex," prized by rubber tappers in Brazil. |
