Some parts of Amazon are completely abandoned. We don’t have resources enough to take care of 4 million of km2!

kind of like tapping for syrup? Wouldn’t that make enough profit to create jobs and stability for the people and STILL make the forest self sufficiant economically?

The government is not strong in that area. I t would be necessary an intervention from the Army (and nobody wants the military take actions).

Lula is an extremely intelligent man..surely he won’t let this keep happening...there has to be a reasonable solution.
