The Amazon - truth and justice

From a recent National Geographic...



"Crosses of Conviction: A boy mourns activist Dorothy Stang at a gathering to mark the first anniversary of her murder. The 73-year-old nun, who dedicated her life to saving the forest and helping workers, was killed by hired gunmen in 2005 after trying to stop ranchers from clearing land. White crosses represent 772 victims of land wars in the state of ParĂ¡, and 48 red crosses symbolize local people now under death threats."
