No, I'm sorry I missed it, though. I did see a cool segment on BRAVO the other night that was called RIO-Hot or something like that. It showed alot of local musicians and the BRAZILIAN sound (like the Jobim type of sound which I like very much). Also showed some local Amazonian art and scenes from the Rainforest. It's all a very old and important part of the world. To your point....It seems that Mr. Moris is very conscious of the sacred nature of the forests and appears to be conducting cutting and or sawmill activities in an area that does not compromise this beauty. I confess that I took a position in this company purely for economic gain. Ever since I spent a good deal of time with Mr. Moris' daughter, Raquel, on the phone, it has gotten to be more than that. I continue to see things that are done slowly and carefully like the website, which frustrate the quick-buck people in our crowd of investors. Then, on the other hand, I sense a very loyal, understanding and appreciative group of investors that sense the unique character and opportunity of the company. Seems to me that ultimately a major TV exposure and really, the financial growth (earnings) of this company could make believers of the bigger crowd of investors.

>>>>These forests are practically sacred and should be preserved forever, not chopped and replanted.<<<< Marc, I'm guessing you have a few things around your house that are made of wood. Maybe even your house itself? We need to gather wood, of course; there is a huge need for it to preserve human survival. So the fact that they chop AND then REPLANT to me is great (and I've heard they plant 2 trees for every 1 they chop down). They also don't clear cut, so ecosystem damage is minimized. What worries me is that they are selling most of the land now (3/4?). Who can know what the new owners will do?! I'm way long and will hold indefinitely, but I hope they will sell the land only to another company that will respect, as you say, the sacredness of it, the way--I feel--Madera has. Only then will I be truly happy about all the millions$$$ the sale will bring... Jeff
