An aerial view shows the camp named Vladimir Maiakovski, set up by members of Brazil's Landless Movement, at the Espiritu Santo Ranch in Xinguara, about 1,000 km (620 miles) north of Brasilia in Para State, May 28, 2009. A spokesman for ranch owner Agropecuaria Santa Barbara announced the loss of at least 70 head of cattle and accused members of the Landless Movement, who are occupying a part of the ranch after invading it in February, of killing the livestock to hurt the owner financially. There has been no official statement from the members of the Landless Movement on the ranch. REUTERS/Marcelo Campos (BRAZIL CONFLICT POLITICS ENVIRONMENT)
