Re: Peru's Less-Than-Benign Environmental Policy
We are losing the battle against illegal logging. You are aware of the speech given in Oslo by Prince Charles. He does remind us that we have only 80 months before the damage to our rain forests becomes irreversible. I feel so sad about it. Little or no action has been taken. A "new" economy has to be introduced in upper-jungle regions. Retirees from developed countries could help towards a partial solution. Costa Rica has 1 million retirees from developed countries. It is the second-most important source of income by now.
