This is Nicaragua, Central America, we get to drive through beautiful rainforest all the way. However, from the truck I started seeing things. This is reality. This used to be rain forest. The smoke is from the black, charred area being cleared for agriculture.
People live here.
Because previously cleared land is dead, they are forced to move to areas where there still are some trees, and start the process all over again. Take a moment. Imagine that this is the view from your living room. There is no air conditioning here. The windows are open.
