Few people know about this brutal deforestation technique called “correntão”, where tractors with huge chains raze the land cutting trees, destroying long standing ecosystems on a whim. If we don’t give value to nature, we’ll turn Earth into a desert 😕

The dozers are taller than the trees, so intuition tells me this isn't mature forest. I'd guess this is reclaiming land that was allowed to go fallow around a decade ago. Is that right?

in the Cerrado, Atlantic and Chaco forests in South America, trees are about that hight at maturity

California’s “paper” wetland restorations? One small island, a vanished Delta Smelt, and a $39M fine expose what might be the biggest eco-cover-up in the Bay-Delta.

@yishan Google says: Studies using satellite data have shown a substantial increase in the amount of green vegetation on Earth over the past two decades.

oh calm your tits every loaf of bread you have ever eaten, every ear of corn, were grown on land that was once wild people cut down the trees, and planted crops so you can eat we have been doing this since we invented agriculture

Is there a non-brutal deforestation technique at all.

agree, but this is one is particularly

Are those dudes for hire? I need that out back.

' G'Day CS They've been doing this in Australia for 100 yrs, you don't want to know what happens to the koala bears in the trees, so 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫. This is why all Australian politicians need to be taken out at 6AM & shot !! @AlboMP @PeterDutton_MP

That's awesome! I'm not sure why this is considered bad - they are harvesting a renewable resource.

It's wild to hear people talking about deforestation and the environment in a negative way these days. Most people are 100% for it in order to put up solar and wind farms, even taking down national parks with a cheer for it
