Deutsche Bahn (DB) is being criticized for an infrastructure project in the eastern Amazon region of Brazil. A railroad line is planned, which the German company is to help develop and operate. It is being marketed as a project that will promote agricultural exports to Europe in a sustainable, low-emission way.
