rainforest economics 101
May 30, 2008Brazil got a new environment minister this month. Carlos Minc has the right credentials – he’s a founder of Brazil’s Green Party. But he’s got a tough job. Balancing the demands of environmentalists with the demands of Brazil’s booming economy is tricky business.
For your listening pleasure, here’s my guide to Rainforest Economics.
Also, take a look at some extraordinary aerial photos of what’s thought to be an uncontacted Amazonian tribe. The tribe lives on the border between Peru and Brazil.

Hello Alex,
I listened to the NPR report on the radio, I listened to the podcasted interview on The World. I looked at your lovely pictures. I saw the video on youtube from the Technical High School in Ecuador. I read Twitter, and your Blogg. This is all part of a technology class I’m taking at a college in Philadelphia. I’m 59 years old and peddaling fast to get up to date with the Web 2.0 platforms. I’m impressed that you’re doing it ALL, and doing it well. Thank you for your efforts to keep us informed. I, for one, appreciate it.
I heard that on the news some time ago that when they tried to send out a helicopter to find the tribe, the helicopter was fired on with arrows!
