You can trust me on this.

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

Especially considering 3 of them were Tool and 2 Maudlin of The Well I've listened to quite a few today, as well. My record is 10+, I believe. During summer.   I listened to 8 today and am still about halfway through a (long) Mike Oldfield album. If theres a few more bright days this month i hope to beat it  I listened to two Lillian Axe albums this morning and 7 Rush albums during the day.

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.

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.
