IUCN is collaborating in the publication of a series of books on key environments, those areas of our remaining natural environment thought to be most severely threatened by disturbance and destruction. This book, on the Amazon basin, falls into three main parts: the physical setting; the biology; and the human impact. One of the major human impacts at present comes from deforestation, though it is difficult to estimate the rate reliably. Forest burning causes an appreciable amount of air pollution in the dry season. There is little other comment on pollution.
