don't we at least owe it to our-self( the whole world) to save Amazon? even if one doesn't care for Brazil and the indigenous people who live in in the Amazon rain forests ; should we care at least for our own sake and our family.? doesn't it's benefits exceed all the ie; wood and soy it produces? doesn't it produce most of the oxygen we all breath? it is a priceless treasure with many unknown species and remedies for many diseases ie; cancer. internationally speaking ,why don't we get creative and save the Amazon? how much money would they make by cutting trees? why not all countries contribute and pay for not cutting down the trees? ie; Amazon is producing oxygen and has to get compensated for it we tend to spend money on weapons and other types of pathological means. why couldn't we afford saving such a priceless treasure? http://ipsterraviva.net/tv/wsfbrazil2009/currentNew.aspx?new=1280 Sean H : may be you didn't read all my question! they are helping you since without those trees you would be dead. just help yourself by saving the Amazon! many plants that can help you to have a healthier life. do a favor for yourself by saving the Amazon! Bruno: thank you very much for the link.one wonders why we can't afford to buy all the Amazon since it is very cheap and affordable £50 ($100) buys a whole acre and protects it forever. £25 saves 2000 square metres (half an acre). See area converter. The habitats you help buy are protected as nature reserves, owned and managed by local organisations.

They are doing all they can, but the production of lumber and soy has almost single-handedly turned Brasil from a third-world country to an emerging super-power. The country has to balance its economic and enviromental needs. I agree though, that more international pressure should be put on their government, seeing as how the Amazon basin significantly effects the weather and climate of the entire globe. 5 : Not just ourselves, but our children and future generations. Especially when one considers the biodiversity of the rainforest, and the inflationary effect of deforestation on climate change. 6 : Yes, we should try to save the Amazon. It is said the cutting there is destroying thousands of acres of forest each day. The value of those forests is either not understood by the people involved or they don't care. These trees are not only greatly involved with our climate and the very air we breathe, but they are the source of medical discoveries that provide the medicines that cure many diseases, to say nothing of the animal species involved Not only that, but we should make an effort to save our own forests, too. George W. Bush has allowed lumbering in our forested areas, with roads and trails and the general activity that goes on when huge trucks start plowing through forestland. Also, the changing climate has caused many more forest fires that destroy this priceless heritage. Firefighters say that these fires are so hot they are destroying the roots and prohibit new growth and that much of our West may be arid desert in years to come. Whether or not you believe in Global Warming, our very lives depend upon our trees. Some people are uneducated about the importance of greenery in our existence. They toss out ridicule with words like "treehugger," not realizing that the oxygen they breathe is dependent upon forestry in our world. As the world's population rises and greedy developers plunder our forests, we are one step closer to destroying our planet and our lives. "Save the Amazon" should be a rallying call to all who care about the future of our world. 7 : Who is this 'we' refering to. I don't mind, yet, 'we' are not the only ones - of the industrialized world to have destroyed our own backyards and now 'demand' ala 'preservation' style - stop from destroyin the Amazon. It is US that dammed the Colorado River and are currently redirecting water too the desert on behalf of corporate agriculture drying out real farmers. We even direct water to Sin City for (what).. 8 : The lungs of our Earth. Most definitely. http://www.worldlandtrust.org/supporting/donation.htm 9 : Yes, and if not we will lose a real treasure.
