In the Brazilian Amazon alone, loggers have illegally built about 107,000 miles of roads cutting through the forest. That's enough to encircle the earth four times over. The most notorious of these roads is the BR-319, which is 500 miles long and is even being paved.

(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)
