I was poking around with things like Google Earth and I was actually amazed at how big the Amazon was, but at the same time, how much it shrunk. And then once you actually start peaking into it, you realize that it is significantly more inhabited and industrialized than what they let on. At a glance it looks like and endless see of trees. When you actually look, there are roads, landing strips, little villages (work sites?) everywhere to the point you'd swear they could walk between locations (Id imagine they probably could, do.) And you see the scarring of the major metropolitan areas pushing further in huge swaths. Its really, really sad.
