Despite being protected by national law, Brazilian nut trees (Castanheiras) stand dead from a fire in the proposed Brazilian Nut Tree Park (Parque das Castanheira) near Claudia in Mato Grosso, Brazil on Sept. 17, 2007. During the dry season large sections of the Amazon Rainforest are set on fire by farmers to clear the way for soy or cattle production.
