If we want them to stop developing the rainforest for economic reasons, then we need to give them an alternative. The fact is, the whole world needs the Amazon as a carbon sink. It seems like a worthy trade to me. They’re helping all of us, and if they ever stop, the rest of the world can just cut the funding.
To be fair, if the US can’t make the guarantee that some wannabe dictator will slip into power after the next election cycle, who can?

The US is just asking to be the most influential country in the world, nothing to fear!
