Ecology and the Rainforest - Preservation or Destruction?

This is our 53rd Rainforest Thread.

I googled "Rainforest Destruction" and came up with 1 of 1 selections. It talked about the Inter-American Development Bank approving $135 million in financing for the controversial Camisea natural gas project in Peru. Environmentalists have been trying to stop loans for that project, saying that, precious rainforest, remote native communities and a coastal nature reserve are all at risk. Lately, it appears that 15 of the native people in the area are dead from the flu after contact with the outside.

Then, I googled "Rainforest Preservation" and came up with 1 through 10 of 93,500 selections. They all (at least the ones I looked at) talk about protecting and saving as much of the remaining rainforest as possible for our children and grandchildren.

That convinced me that "Preservation" beats out "Destruction" any day of our lifetime.
