The Amazon rainforest is one of the most extraordinary places on earth. Did you know for example that rainclouds from the Amazon supply over half of the water for America's farmlands? and that the Amazon basin stores over 85 billion metric tons of carbon?
I am excited about the upcoming Amazon Watch event on October 30 in,
where else, the Green Room in San Francisco. Enjoy a delicious
luncheon, celebrate the recent victories in protecting the Amazon and
the indigenous peoples who live there, and hear the always-astounding
words of Luis Yanza - the Goldman Environmental Prize winner from
Ecuador.
