After the Amazon, Brazil's Atlantic forest in danger
Activists in Brazil are sounding the alarm over the fate of a native forest that is almost entirely lost and, like the Amazon, is in serious danger. The Mata Atlantica used to cover one million square kilometres, roughly the entire Atlantic coastline of the country.

Our correspondents report.
