And it's for half the territory stay a virgin forever? We make sacrifices to keep the forest and its inhabitants living in prehistory, then a Saxon comes and calls us of third world!
If we evolve to the second world, we will explore the forest and all its inhabitants bring the twenty-first century.

Anyone who wants the forest to pay a lot for it.

You believe that the Amazon rain forest does not need protecting - which it does, for obvious reasons - then chop it down, burn the wood or sell it illegally, and when all the rivers up north get silted up or dry up, the land becomes a desert - good for nothing - all the remaining north easterners can migrate to the south, live in ever larger slums where everyone will be happy, living in shit. Good call brasshole !
Brazil has to learn how to explore the forest in a sustainable manner, not simply destroy it. And since you are a socialist idiot, who d'you think is profiting from the destruction of the forest ?? Certainly not the 'people'..
