Why is the rain forest disappearing and what harm is it doing? The beginning of the destruction of Brazil's rain forest began with the building of roads, which brought settlers hoping for a better life. Viewers will hear how development, mining, logging, and cattle ranching did little to enrich the lives of Brazilians, while destroying forests, adding to greenhouse gasses, polluting rivers, killing wildlife, and displacing and killing the native people.
