Actually IBAMA is taking it more serious than I would imagined. It is a drag to get right of way for AC power transmission lines. Mata Atlantica (the strip of rain forest that runs north south is being protected. I usually drive from Curitiba 40 Minutes and can get to a place which has trees 3m in diameter. Have some New Zealanders there helping out. They are putting radio communications, equipping the forest police with vehicles boats to catch the poachers. But the jungle is something else. Brazil doesn't have neither the technical nor the money to protect it. My idea -which make fellow Brazilians fume- is to give the Amazonian Region (about 2million Km2 or so) to an international body to manage it, albeit still being a sovereign part of the country. But this children's disease called nationalism is hard to die.
