    The Wider Image: Brazil to blast Amazon tributary for grains

    Aurora Leal Bezerra, 5, holds onto a rope during the boat ride back from school near Pedral do Lourenco, a natural rocky formation on the Tocantins River that may be blown up to build the Araguaia-Tocantins riverway, in the village of Tauari, in Itupiranga, Para State, Brazil, September 1, 2025. During legal hearings on site, neighbors told three visiting magistrates they worry about hazardous boat traffic replacing their fisheries. For the communities trying to stop the proposed blasting on the Tocantins River, the fear of displacement is palpable. "We'll lose space on the river to the barges carrying iron ore and agricultural goods," said community leader Ademar de Souza. "We're not sure about the future." REUTERS/Adriano Machado

    ABOUT QUEWS

    We are a news service born out of a global loss of confidence in media and destabilising polarisation of attitudes. We believe it is possible, indeed necessary, to create a public forum where vital issues of the day are discussed, debated, analysed and circulated.
