Personally, I think that the more eco-friendly pairs of eyes that can be encouraged to watch what is going on in Latin America, the better!

I suspect all the free trade agreements being hatched down there, while we are distracted by the mideast, is a threat to the remaining primary forests by industrial-scale lumber companies. But then again, I am naive.
