The Amazon rainforest is the epitome of a last great wilderness under
threat from modern man. It has become an international cause celebre
for environmentalists as powerful agricultural and industrial
interests bent on felling trees encroach ever deeper into virgin
forest. But the latest evidence suggests that the Amazon is not what
it seems. As more trees are felled, the story of a far less natural
Amazon is revealed - enormous manmade structures, even cities, hidden
for centuries under what was believed to be untouched forest. All the
time archaeologists are discovering ancient, highly fertile soils that
can only have been produced by sophisticated agriculture far and wide
across the Amazon basin. This startling evidence sheds new light on
long-dismissed accounts from the very first conquistadors of an Amazon
teeming with people and threatens to turn our whole notion of
wilderness on its head. And if even the Amazon turns out to be
unnatural, what then for the future of wilderness?
