Angra dos Reis, Brasil - a photo on Flickriver

Angra dos Reis, Brasil

View Large On Black

Though this might look cute on a Cudillero kind of way, it is far from it. Here you have environmental crime on the making. Every single house you see here was built on an environmental protection area, with the collusion of the local authorities and the national law enforcement agencies. Where the houses sit now there was a stretch of the ever diminishing Atlantic Rainforest. A truly sad view.

Verla en grande sobre fondo negro

Por muy monas que estas casas puedan parecer (a lo Cudillero), no lo son, ni mucho menos. Lo que veis es crimen ambiental en marcha. Todas las casas que se ven en la fotografía fueron construidas en una zona de protección ambiental, con la connivencia de las autoridades locales y de los responsables de la protección del medio ambiente a nivel nacional. Donde ahora hay casas antes había un pedazo del menguante Bosque Atlántico tropical. Una imagen bien triste.
