30年前,达瑞哈·雷蒂丧偶的祖母来到巴西北部这个偏远地区,砍林辟地,为她的14个子女打造家园。之后这个家庭不断深入亚马孙雨林。他们被那句边疆格言鼓励.认为大自然一旦屈服于人类,财富就会到来。“为了生存,我们必须利用我们拥有的东西.”达瑞哈•雷蒂60岁的父亲阿拉迪诺·奥利维拉·达科斯塔说。他砍伐原始森林,为他四个较年长的孩子各盖了一间房子。
In the three decades since Darah Lady's widowed grandmother first arrived in this remote stretch of northern Brazil,clearing the jungle by hand to build a house for her 14 children,the family has pushed deeper and deeper into the Amazon.It has been driven by the frontier maxim that prosperity comes when nature succumbs to human dominion.
