Long Read: Travelling along Highway BR-163
1st August 2018
Travelling along highway BR-163, this is a remarkable story of powerful agro-food multinationals, the battle against illegal deforestation and mining, communities attempting to build resilience and the challenge of overcoming corruption: A fantastic photo-essay that covers so many aspects of growth and development economics and is jam-packed with compelling images to support the journalistic journey.
The tale of the Amazon told via a 2000km journey across the BR-163 highway in Brazil. This is journalism at its best https://t.co/6qFsrxxFzX
