I agree with Doug's factual understanding. I am also concerned that some of the indigenous communities have been protecting some valuable natural habitats. David Barkin was showing me around Morelia a couple of days ago. I was struck by that corrosive spread of golf courses and lavish housing, displacing more traditional life.
The choice between traditional poverty and more modern squalor for people displaced by such development is not very attractive.
