Abstract

In the Amazon, chainsaws are not just for felling trees. “Drive your chariot and your plow over the bones of the dead” is one of the proverbs of hell most put into practice in the “urbanized forest”. However, if there is a hell, it is not just green. Demons would not be true painters. Hell can't just be green, according to another proverb that "a fool doesn't see the same tree as a wise man."
