Now rich countries might consider paying Brazil to preserve and grow its rainforests.

Brazilians need to help themselves too in fairness, outside funding can only do so much... Money is a limited resource.

It needs 'protection' in the short term, but it needs education, and jobs in the long term. People clearly turn to illegal logging as its their only source of income, if other jobs can be created and tourism prioritised for the rainforest then we'll see permanent change.
