Shock as BBC posts non-financial post on PM blog. No money here. Nope. Don't look here for money news. The cupboard's bare. Stop looking here for financial disaster news. 6:55pm on 02 Mar 2009 The city with the most dog poo is probably Venice. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Venetians put up with it themselves just so that it will annoy the throngs of tourists they have to put up with - not many tourists take their dogs to Venice, so it's the Venetian dogs who are to blame.
Belem: The End of the Journey 1:18pm on 29 Sep 2008 Globo Brasil has published the following on their website today:

Data published today by the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (Inpe) reveal that the speed of deforestation in Amazonia has risen by 144% between July and August. This calculation, made with the use of satellite images, indicates that 756,7 km² were destroyed in August, an area equivalent to the municipality of São Paulo. In July, the same institute registered 323,9 km² of forest destroyed. In the state of Pará alone, 435 km² de forest has been lost. 29/09/2008 - 08h55 ( - G1)

In comparison to August last year, the speed of deforestation is even greater, reaching 229%. In August 2007 Inpe registered 230,2 km² áreas devastated.

In a few hours, the centres of deforestation will be visible on the interactive map Globo Amazônia, which shows the points of destruction of the forest, and enables the possibility for protest at the burning and destruction.
