The Beni River (Spanish: Río Beni) is a river in the north of Bolivia.It rises north of La Paz and flows northeast. It is the most important tributary of the Madre de Dios River. Two of Beni's tributaries are the Madidi River and the Tuichi River in the Madidi National Park and Madidi National Park respectively. Tuichi River joins the Beni River upstream from the town Rurrenabaque. South of Rurrenabaque, the Beni River runs through the Amazon rainforest. About 30 km (19 mi) before joining the Mamoré River at the Bolivia-Brazil border, the rapids of Cachuela Esperanza interrupt the upstream navigability of the river.
The Volvo Amazon is a mid-size car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars from 1956 to 1970 and introduced in the USA as the 122S at the New York International Auto Show in April 1959.
The Amazon shared the wheelbase, tall posture and high H-point seating of its predecessor, the PV and was offered in two-door sedan, four-door sedan, and five-door wagon body styles. In 1959 Volvo became the world's first manufacturer to provide front seat belts as standard equipment — by providing them on all Amazon models, including the export models — and later becoming the first car featuring three-point seat belts as standard equipment.
When introduced, the car was named the Amason (with an 's'), deriving from the fierce female warriors of Greek mythology, the Amazons. German motorcycle manufacturer Kreidler had already registered the name, and the two companies finally agreed that Volvo could only use the name domestically (i.e., within Sweden), modifying the spelling to Amazon. Subsequently, Volvo began its tri-digit nomenclature and the line became known as the 120 Series.
The Amazon was originally manufactured at Volvo's Lundby plant in Gothenburg and subsequently at the company's Torslandaverken plant, which began operating in 1964. By the end of production, 234,653 four-door models, 359,917 two-door models and 73,220 station wagons had been produced, of which 60% were exported; for a total of 667,791 vehicles.

Shocking to see from up here, how much of the Amazon rainforest is actually gone now.
Schockierend, von hier oben zu sehen, wie viel vom Amazonischen Regenwald schon verschwunden ist!

Leticia, Colombia, taken in December 1998. My first time in the Amazon, with Everaldo and Heber, and the infamous Joel, with whom we parted company a few days later at an army barracks late at night just over the border in Brazil. A stage had been set for what looked like go-go dancers, there were soldiers with guns positioned around the perimeter, and at some point, a fully-clad Santa Claus was lowered into the arena. It felt like a scene from a bad Vargas Llosa novel, so we hitched back across to Leticia. I can still remember this storm, though. A highlight. We'd just left the then semi-ruined hotel that had belonged to the American drug trafficker Mike Tsalikis on La Isla de los Micos.
A cold winter morning on the fields inside Amazon territory, the sounds of marching fill the cold air. The call goes out to the warriors of Amazon to defend her land from the incursion of scorpion soldiers. The scorpion soldiers have come for the Amazon gold to fuel there war campaign. The Amazon warriors meet on the battlefield and demand that the scorpions remove their filth from their lands. The scorpions aren’t here to talk, they are here for war and battle insures. The cold steel clashes on the battlefield and the will of Amazon prevails this day.

The human impact on the Amazon rainforest has been grossly underestimated according to an international team of researchers from Brazil and the UK, led by Lancaster University.
They found that selective logging and surface wildfires can result in an annual loss of 54 billion tonnes of carbon from the Brazilian Amazon, increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
This is equivalent to 40% of the yearly carbon loss from deforestation -- when entire forests are chopped down.
This is the largest ever study estimating above and below-ground carbon loss from selective logging and ground level forest fires in the tropics, based on data from 70,000 sampled trees and thousands of soil, litter and dead wood samples from 225 sites in the eastern Brazilian Amazon.
