That can be seen clearly in the deforestation afflicting much of the tropical world, including Madagascar, where 90% of the country's original forest cover has been lost.

The married couple also investigated 89 Rocky Mountain rivers for their planned project “Over the River,” in which 5.9 miles of paneled fabric will be suspended over a 40-mile stretch of Colorado’s Arkansas river. The application for government approval was a 2029-page book.“It will be 45 minutes and we will show 81 slides,” Jeanne-Claude said, by way of prefacing a speech, at the beginning of an event held last Wednesday...
