But in 1998, the Indian government built a road across their land, and since then, theyve had more contact with the outside world.Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because of unhappy memories.

25、2050 the UN expects that proportion to reach 68%. This means more homes, roads and other infrastructures.

27、d concrete. It is not, however, everyday wood that is attracting the interest of architects.Rather, it is a material called engineered timber.

But with sustainably managed forests that should not be a problem, says Dr Ramage. A family-sized apartment r
30、equires about 30 cubic metres of timber, and he estimates Europes sustainable forests alone grow that amount every seven seconds. Nor is fire a risk, for engineered timber does not burn easily. Besides, fireproof layers can be added to the timber. All in all, then, it looks as if wood as a building
