Comment on Amazon Rain Forest Is Dryingparent

Comments

Not OP, but as an American consumer, what i would like are:

- better labeling on products i buy to know they didn't contribute to the deforestation. Ideally these products are cheaper (or at least not more expensive) than unsustainably produced ones

- more accessible/cheaper tourism opportunities so I can visit the Amazon as easily as possible. I would like to know my tourism dollars go to conservation efforts

- wrt narcotrafficking, investing in campaigns to legalize drugs in America (along with the rehab/support facilities). I suspect much of the illegal drug supply chain will disappear if the drugs were simply legal.

Yes, and maybe some networked cameras out in the middle of it. If people could interact with it remotely like that they might have a wider appreciation. I’m thinking cameras on gimbals and solar powered with wireless internet one or another way. Perhaps have them track motion or something. Night vision.
