      abstract = {This spectacular production from the acclaimed Nature of  Things series provides a comprehensive survey of the global  catastrophe escalating in the Amazon basin. The burning of  the tropical rain forest, which releases carbon monoxide  and destroys the ozone layer, is a major contributor to the  greenhouse effect.  This program explains the failure of a  massive resettlement program, which lured millions of  migrants to the Amazon. They cleared the forest with the  hope of farming the land, only to discover that the soil  was thin and infertile. Despite this, the Brazilian  government continued to promote settlement which threatens  many native Amazonian groups, including the Kaiapo Indians  and rubber tappers.  The film includes one of the last  interviews with the late Chico Mendez, leader of the rubber  tappers, who was murdered for his outspoken opposition to  land clearance. As this program shows, the Western world is  both culprit and victim in this tragedy.},
