An investigation into the landgrabbers, loggers and lawless frontiers in Para State, Amazon

During Greenpeace investigations it became clear that the economically aggressive logging sector in Para cannot fully be understood in isolation and must be framed in the broader context of forest destruction in this region -the process of invasion and conquest of remote and pristine areas of this immense territory. This rapid process of development has been fueled by the actions of economic groups operating under little or no control from the Brazilian Federal government or Brazilian society.
