MORE PROOF THAT THE AMAZON JUNGLE WASN'T ALWAYS A "PRISTINE UNSPOILED" FOREST

DISCOVER:
... in recent years archaeologists have uncovered evidence of ancient, densely populated settlements throughout the basin, hinting at societies far larger and more advanced than previously thought.

Some of the most eye-opening new research comes from the western Amazon, where archaeologist Denise Schaan of the Federal University of Pará in Brazil has mapped clusters of mysterious land sculptures dug between 700 and 2,000 years ago. The purpose of the 269 circular and rectangular earthworks, scattered over a 15,000-square-mile area, remains unknown, but Schaan suspects they were ceremonial platforms (pdf). “These earthworks could only have been built by large, coordinated populations,” she says.
"LARGE POPULATIONS" MEANS THAT THE FOREST WAS SMALER THEN. MANAGED.

THEREFORE, ALL THE BS ABOUT HOW WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE AMAZON IS JUST THAT: BS. TFBS.

ALL LEFT-WING ANTI-INDUSTRIALIZATION BS. AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE POORER AS A DIRECT RESULT.

Enviro-nut BS for sure. The sad part is we can't really talk about or find out what really should be done if anything. It would be nice to be able to manage and help our environment in a way that helps people and the environment but the left wing wakos make it impossible to have rational discussions. You can't talk to despicable socialist liars who's solution to pollution is to kill off the people. Something they've been very successful at.
