On the border of Mexico and Guatemala (Central America)

Description

Here is a magnificent tropical forest. And there is what remains. In 25 years, a luxuriant landscape has gradually withered away, mainly on the Mexican side of the border where the deforestation is unmistakeable, as if the land had been shaved. However, this is the region of Chiapas, a poverty-stricken area in the south of Mexico where, to survive, people have to clear land for agriculture.
