Group of scientists asks for cancellation of the reconstruction of the BR-319

Highway linking Porto Velho to Manaus

A group of scientists published an open letter to president Lula asking for the cancellation of the reconstruction of highway BR-319, which connects Porto Velho to Manaus. The main argument is that the road would more bring deforestation for one of the preserved regions of the Amazon.

    They are causing deforestation in your part, but it is bad to everyone else in the world. I agree with the scientists.
