The remains of some of the 700,000 square kilometers of rainforest land which has been deforested in the Amazon basin since 1970, according the the National Institute of Space Research of Brazil, lie next to some farm buildings near Alta Floresta in Para State, Brazil, Aug. 28, 2007. Brazil emits the fourth-largest amount of global greenhouse gasses, mainly because of Amazon deforestation.
