Pay the struggling farmers NOT to clear more land, but to keep on tilling their own land as always. Maybe it would pay in the long run to subsidize the income of the hard-pressed farmer thereby offering an incentive to keep their lands in their own names. Surely there are monied organizations that care equally about the indigeneous folks as well as the rainforests? Dear Ms Kimberly,

I lived four years from 2000-2004 in Chiriqui Grande, Bocas del Toro, Panama and while not economically rewarding, I would do it over again and again in a heartbeat. The Ngobe-Bugle Community has a heart bigger than reality, although they have almost no economic support. Time and again, they invited me as a complete stranger into their humble dwellings, because I descended to their level of communication and lifestyle while eating or even sleeping on a piece of cardboard as a bed for the night. I will never forget the kindness shown me and I know you understand completely what I'm saying. Keep up your great work, Kimberley, even when 90% of the people say you're "schizophrenic" as they do here in Puerto Limon (Urban Jungle)with me. Hope to cross paths some day.
