Nacho Doce/Reuters Earlier this week, Brazilian authorities detained Ezequiel Antonio Castanha, who is already being billed in the press as the Amazon's King of Deforestation. Castanha will face charges "including illegal deforestation and money laundering, and could be sentenced to up to 46 years in prison" for his alleged role in running a network that cleared massive government plots and sold them to cattle grazers, according to the AP.
