Indeed. It's the kind of cause that gets people killed - just one price of the resource frenzy in South America and Africa. The combination of extreme poverty in the southern hemisphere and high demand in the north is a powerful one. So awfully discouraging - the ones who are hungry are not going to stop working for illegal logging or mining operations. And it seems the ones who consume will have difficulty slowing down their demand. Overpopulation could guarantee failure on both hemispheres.

Keep informing us! It is encouraging that the environment has become a popular topic of conversation.

Best wishes,
