    Claudio Verequete lives about 200m from where the road will be. He used to make an income from harvesting açaí berries from trees that once occupied the space.

    “Everything was destroyed,” he says, gesturing at the clearing.

    “Our harvest has already been cut down. We no longer have that income to support our family.”

    He says he has received no compensation from the state government and is currently relying on savings.

    In case it’s unclear that the people claiming to care about the climate are genuinely as bad as any cartoon villain out of Fern Gully.
