Magda Zanom, Environment and Development the Ecology Movement in Brazil
Since its colonization in the Nineteenth Century, the land and soil of Brazil have been subjected to an uninterrupted series of ravages : cycles involving extraction of wood resources, sugar cane and cotton, gold, coffee, hevea, and soja. In the second half ot the Twentieth Century, the new paths of development inaugurated by different governments follow a model of agro-industrial exportation which has dramatically accelerated previously established patterns of environmental destruction. This process is culminating today in grandiose projects such as the colonization of the Amazon and the construction of huge dams (Itaipu, Tucurui) whose potential for ecological and human destruction is mind-boggling. The Brazilian ecology movement has fixed a double objective in refusing to separate the defense of the environment from the development of the well-being of the immense majority of the people.
