Anyone starting a new Shred before this one is locked sucks.

Caio, I've read a long time ago a book telling the exploration done by some dudes back in the 60s in the Matto Grosso. Basically there was amazing jungle, then miners, then amazing jungle again, them amazing tribes, then amazing jungle again, piranhas, etc. I was kinda hoping that got preserved. Tongue


Well, it is being preserved. But I guess they went to so many different places because untill the late 70's the state was this big. It was absolutyelly enourmous and contained mostly untouched ecosystems. At that time, the state had jungles to the north (where it border the northern states and is part of the Legal Amazon), forests to the south-east (part of the Atlantic Forrest, today completelly destroyed), prairies/savannas in most of its territory and Pantanal (an ecosystem that only exists in South America, mostly located in BR territory).

Today, the state that has the name Mato Grosso only has savannas and jungles (part of the Amazônia Legal), but it is still f**king massive, which is the biggest problem concerning preservation. But the fight against deforrestation is pretty srsbsns nowadays. If account the size of land the police has to cover with the amount of menpower they have, they are doing a pretty awesome job. There is still, however, a lot of room for improvement.

You just need to remind that the hinterland of BR is mostly very empovirished and, msot of times, deforestation is the only mean of survival people have. However, nowadays the ones who have the bigger responsability for deforestation are the powerful and rich land owners, people who, most of times, law can't reach.


Good to know you guys still care. I loved reading about ecuatorial and tropical SA when I was a kid. Doyle's Lost World and Verne's The Might Orinocco were my early favourites. Big smile The anthropological part of that Matto Grosso expedition story was awesome too. Speaking of anthropology, I never got to read Strauss' Tropiques Tristes, though, somehow.
BTW I went yesterday to the greenhouses of the botanical garden, I almost lost my breath in the ecuatorial one because of the heat and humidity. Compared to that, the tropical ones were almost cool. LOL


Oh yeah, equatorial weather is a disgrace. LOL I don't know if you have red that, but the Portuguese took so long to navegate around Africa because further south they went, the closer they thought they were getting to hell (because of the heat), lol.

If you are intersted in BR hinterland exploration, you should definitely read about the Baron of Rio Branco. The guy was a legend among legends during his time. His calculations and topographical drawings of the country hinternland were so precise that, when put agains a satelite generated image of the same place, his most erroneous drawing only diverted the course of a river about 6 meters to the west (or east). Clap

His father was one of the strong men of the Emperor of all the Empire of Brazil, your Highness Pedro the Second. At that time, we were so awesome we singlehandedly invaded Argentina, Uruguay (repeatedly in order to change the result of the elections, lool) and slaughtered about 80% of the population of Paraguay (over 90% of men were killed and about 70% of women; and they say Hitler was a bad guy, lol). Also, we had the second biggest navy of the world at the time and an army comarable to the army of the European powers.

BR was a pretty awesome place @ the 1800's and early 1900's.


That sounds bad-ass indeed. Seems like you'd like to have a go at that. LOL But to me reading about exotic stuff >>> living exotic stuff, I largely prefer moderate weather, libraries, subway, etc. Tongue


IDK if I would like to go with him also. Diseases were really dangerous at that time and killed many of whom where with him and almsot killed himself, if memory sermes me right.

However, I would definitely like to have lived in a time where we could boss around Argentina and Uruguay whenever we wanted. LOL

BTW, Mato Grosso has only one T. Wink Tongue LOL

It's a good one, Ommadawn is probably my fav but Incantations is pretty downright amazing.


Every studio album by Oldfield untill Platinum is perfection made music. If you think otherwise, u have a sh*tty taste in music.

I dno Hergest Ridge had room for improvement, still a great record though. 

Thats my sh*tty taste for ya


You disloike something by Oldfield, therefore your opinion is invalid.

I don't dislike it I think it isn't perfect
