Description
PERU-BRAZIL BORDER AREA, PERU - JUNE 16: Images of Brazil nut farming and sorting, Peru-Brazil border area, June 16, 2007. The Brazil nuts are harvested from giant trees and then left to cure before the nut is extracted. The building of the Inter-Oceanic Highway road has had many effects on Peru. One of the longest, most ambitious road projects in the world, it crosses Peru through the Amazon rain forest regions and continues through the Andes into Brazil. It provides the potential for great economic growth for Peru through improved transportation routes which ease the need for imports in Peru. The road however threatens the fragile eco-systems through which it passes, and that threatens much of the sustainable, subsistence existence of many Peruvians. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Getty Images)
