I can’t help but be deeply angered at the prospect of people owning and destroying vast amounts of forest to make money. Especially when it involves felling an entire indigenous culture and its people.
On a united, worldwide front, what laws are in place to legally protect people from this kind of economic genocide? As Jonathan Mazower states, after Paraguay they will move on to some other fertile land.
