Environment Conservation- For all you rainforest fans out there, or if you love woodwork. Help?

Question

This isnt much of a question, I know, but I figure this area of Yahoo questions has plenty of people who really care about the environment. I've traveled to Puerto Rico and Argentina under the Earthwatch Program, and Ive experienced a lot of environmental mauling to be honest. I wanted to know however if you guys would be willing to help- I met a small group of people who live way into the forest in PR, and they need help funding their sustainable forestry research. If you could give their website a glance: http://www.eyeontherainforest.org/puertoricowood.php

you'll see some of the best made woodwork from the absolute best wood, Blue Mahoe. It literally directly funds the conservation of the forest, so if you're looking for a way that actually helps the environment this is it. Help us out, please? =)

Thanks guys, and happy trails.

Answer 1

The only true Forest Conservationists are conservative minded Foresters who earn their living from the forest; not so called "eco-friendly" preservationists who are really only true hypocrites.  If we preserved everything in nature we would be buck naked and starved to death.  GO FOREST INDUSTRY...

Answer 2

It's a good idea - and beautiful stuff.  I just can't afford any of it.  Sorry!

Answer 3

working with the native peoples on a sustainable industry is the way to go stripping the land of its forests for a few years of agriculture is the problem many times the cut trees are just burned by select cutting the trees you are maintaining a viable environment
