Transamazonica (The Amazon Highway)- Colonization of the Amazon Basin2:08
Hey everyone,
I made this presentation for geography class in grade 12. Takes about 10 mins to present, incl. additional material.
It is about the Transamazonian Highway, which is also called Transamazonica.
It is a PRIME EXAMPLE of how DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS COULD GO WRONG.
Works great for school.
