LIVING ON THE EDGE about the deforestation of the rainforest and the tumultuous effect on indigenious people. My story covers a family dealing with the trials they had to endure while their home is distroyed.

The book is dedicated to Sister Dorothy Stang 73 year old Catholic Nun shot 6 times while attempting to save the rainforest.

I think this was a horrific occurance that has not made the impact it should have.

Positive signs. I wonder if this has anything to do with some of the requirements to address illegal logging and forest governance reform that were part of the US trade deal with Peru. I did a post on illegal logging <a href="http://(http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/jschmidt/illegal_blogging_and_climate_change.html)" rel="nofollow">(http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/jschmidt/illegal_blogging_and_climate_change.html)</a>. Illegal logging in Peru of mahogany was a major factor in the push to get the Lacey Act amendment adopted in the US that I reference in my post. Interesting story on the happenings in Peru.

If Peru or anyone was going to get serious about the problem they would button the Amazon region up with even use made of defence personel and at the same time put some serious capitol and legislation into the already damaged areas to start plantation forests. The local population gains jobs working the plantations and the illegal loggers havn't got a way to move their timber. I don't like plantations but the opposite argument is to leave a population with no jobs or future the sawmillers and loggers have a cooperative population that they economically deprive anyway.
