Agricultural landscape, Santa Cruz (Bolivia)
|
Type: Poster
Duration: June 1975 - May 2003
Following the construction of roads and bridges linking the region of Santa Cruz to other
population centres, large numbers of migrants arrived. The subsequent agricultural
development has caused massive deforestation in the region. By 2003, the forest area
had almost entirely disappeared and had been replaced by thousands of cultivated plots.
