Detailed Location Information
The Brazil program is based in Santarém, 500 miles up from the mouth of the mighty Amazon River. Santarém is a city of approximately 250,000 people. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil has overcome more than half a century of military intervention in the governance of the country to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development. Highly unequal income distribution remains a pressing problem. Deforestation in the Amazon Basin is destroying the habitat and endangering a multitude of plant and animal species indigenous to the area. Air and water pollution in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and many other large cities is a continuing problem.
