The unknown secret of Brazil is the Pantanal.
A swamp land with impressive animal life .
Ant eaters, capivaras, large birds, monkeys, caymans, jaquars,
and pumas.
What is happening , white farmers are trying to take over land owed by the Guarani Indians. The knock down their houses, and the rivers are being poisoned with pesticides and mercury..
Over 300 Indians have committed suicide..
The other area is the Amazon
The river is 6577 km long!
The forest is the lungs of Brazil
You have probably heard a lot about Amazon deforestation and seen plenty of ugly pictures of logged forest, dam and mining projects, and scorched earth. But the problem is the rate of damage. So much is going so fast, that scientists literally do not know what is being lost. Unknown species are disappearing before their very eyes! The rate of loss is estimated from looking at satellite images of forest cover. Over time scientists can compare how much is present in early images compared with later images. The difference in amount is the rate of loss. From such images it is calculated that in Brazil about 5 to 6 million acres are lost per year (This estimate is averaged for the period 1979-1990, according to figures from the Rainforest Action Network)

I am not sure how the historical sites change the natural environment. Maybe because they were built by humans which altered the environment.
