It makes for a good headline, but

> the cleared land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles)

I mean, I think it's a bad look for a "climate summit" to choose a location that results in 0.8 miles of rainforest being cut down.

But that said, the article also claims "tens of thousands of acres" cut down. 10,000 acres is 15 sq-miles. That's a lot more than an 8 mile freeway, unless I did some math wrong (possible).

No, it says it cut through an area of "tens of thousands of acres"
