BRASIL: "Gringos" Must Pay To Protect Amazon, Says Lula.
AP/MIAMI HERALD/
"I don't want any gringo asking us to let an Amazon resident die of hunger under a tree," President Lula da Silva said before a conference. "We want to preserve, but they will have to pay the price for this preservation because we never destroyed our forest like they mowed theirs down a century ago." "In Europe everyone has opinions about the Amazon, and there are people who think the Amazon is a zoo where you have to pay to enter," said Marco Aurelio Garcia, Lula's foreign policy adviser. "They don't know there are 30 million who work there."
