CSF finds Amazon road BR-319 will lose millions.http://www.globoamazonia.com/Amazonia/0,,MUL1085850-16052,00-REFORMA+DA…
Ecoaméricas cites CSF-supported study on roads in the Maya Forest. The study showed that new proposed roads in remote areas of the forest would increase deforestation, spark fires and cause net economic losses to Guatemala and Mexico. In the Americas, the Maya Forest is the largest intact area of rain forest north of the Amazon. It is home to impressive biodiversity, the largest of the ancient mayan cities' ruins, and thriving forest economies.
