Photographer’s Note

Due to massive deforestation in the upper amazonian basin, there are large areas in the forest with lonely standing trees. Deforestation occurs mainly for wood extracting and agricultural development. The law states that you should plant 3 trees for every one you take down, but enforcement is weak and corruption strong.
