Dear Friend,
Deforestation of Amazonia in June has decreased to pratically 5% of what
was registered this time last year - 531 km2 in comparison to 10,017 km2
in June 2004. After some initial scepticism the news was received with
euphoria. The government is cautious and points out the need to sustain
the repression throughout July and August. Read the article by O Eco:
