Amazonas kollaps

Skövlingen av Amazonas ökar kraftigt. Snart kan skogen försvinna helt och hållet. Vad händer med vår planet om världens största regnskog ödeläggs? Och vem är ansvarig?

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

En regnskog ska inte kunna brinna - ändå ligger röken tät över stora delar av Brasilien. Vilka är det som driver på skövlingen och bränderna? Varför är floderna förgiftade av kvicksilver? Och vad händer när skogen inte längre klarar trycket?

Amazonas framtid hänger på en skör tråd - kan vi rädda den i tid?
