I think there are similar problems here in China too. On the one hand, the government needs to figure out some ways to fight against those destructions. On the other hand, the people near those forests need to rely on the forest to make a living. To save the forest, we have to take into considerations those two factors. 1. Find other ways for people in those areas to make a living. 2. Reinforce laws against those destructions. That is my simple idea about it. My pleasure to share with you.

The most reasonable to me seems the quick suspension of the deforestation activities. Enough land is gained for industrial farming. A forest dies in a day but no one human yet has lived to build a forest in a lifetime. It is a complex economical challenge but who knows, maybe the financial sector will soon employ significantly lower personnel and thus be far less important.

talk, talk and talk about it is a mere solution to affect public opinnion (and we need it), to cast this oppinion to action, well, i think that we need to talk, talk and talk even more and dont split the issue in a tricky problem between powerful persons and (whatever persons, ehh), isn't the correct way, i guess. I'm also responsable for amazon. So, i need to talk, talk, typing, typing, but, also chance my everyday life. Everything is related.

seems to me that saving the rainforests needs to be one of the brazilian government top priorities, along with fighting crime, poverty and economy issues. cutting down trees should be against the if it is not. regarding the disemployment problem in several areas in the country, Brazil should encourage people from around the country to work at a governmental forest building plan of planting trees. people who will work and live in the area will eventually be against the woods industry in brazil. another thing the government could is putting high taxes on woods from the amazon and make it less profitful for them.

Its a nice question how government can take initiatives to save it. Yes, Amazon is the world famous rainforest which must be conserved as the best way. Government should take a policy not to build any industry near the forest. Besides, the forest people those who are living inside the forest, they should be much aware how to protect the forest. They should learn first that 'Protecting the forest means protecting themselves, their culture, their social system'. Here needs a people's movement. Organized local people can protect any invaders who want to grab the land and destroy this natural worders. We all are with such movement. With solidarity.
