Brazil's other disappearing rainforest

By Gibby Zobel in Rio de Janeiro

Thick green forests once covered the entire Atlantic coastline

 

 

Brazil's gigantic Atlantic Forest has been decimated to a tiny fraction of its

size over the past few decades - and the destruction is continuing even now.

 

 

 

It is the Atlantic forest - not the better known Amazon - that contains the

greatest concentration of different trees on the planet. There are more species

of birds here than in the whole of Europe.

40 years in the local store

Got forced out by the supermarket

The price of all your favorite meals

Stays low but now you can’t afford it

Send in the supermarket forces

Stick it on a card to save you cash

They know your details in a flash

Streamlined sets the mental tone

Now everyone’s a shopping clone
