Rondônia, Brazil
Rondônia is a state in northwest Brazil which, along with the states of Mato Grosso and Pará, is one of the most deforested regions of the Amazon rain forest. Thousands of acres of forest have been slashed and burned here, mostly to make room for cattle ranching.

But Nigeria's been having a leak like this too.
For 50 years now.
Strange that CNN didn't cover it.
"How are Haiti and Rondônia, Brazil "toxic" from having few trees? And who lives at places such as Lake Karachay? I get the point of the article but the word "toxic" is so often misused."
They're toxic because of the ******* fumes caused by burning the trees down. Common sense.
Do you not know what happens when you get a bunch of cattle together in one area? Do you know what the Ozone is?
It doesn't matter if there aren't people living there, that doesn't make it less.... More

She's right. The idea that people need huge amounts of protein, only obtainable from meat, is incorrect.
Read the book "Fast Food Nation" for information about the supply of meat. Any one hamburger maybe composed of scraps of meat from several nations.
It takes about 10 Million cows a year to supply McDonald's with the necessary meat to feed their customers.
They are not getting any support from me.
The answer is McDonalds, Burger King and all the other places that serve mass beef. They went to the Amazon and offered those starving poor people a lot of money to cut down the forests and raise cattle. Little did the residents know that then the land would degrade and no longer support their very lives. Humans only need protein once or twice a week. Cut your own consumption.
