The edge of the Rainforest

Uploading that video clip took forever - I'll not be doing too many more of those!

I've not had any responses to the video request yet, which is a shame: come on kids, there must be some young explorers out there that fancy learning about the rainforest and helping me out at the same time. Just let me know what sort of skills you have and what you can do to help me. Send a letter to me at Brasenose College or e-mail me on my hotmail account: greenman.brasenose@hotmail.com

I took the coach from Belem to Santarem yesterday. This is where the Tapajos meets the Amazon. Tapajos indians used to live in this area before all the settlement and tourism. This is why I am going on this expedition - to find one of the tribes that has not been disturbed and moved from it's own land by commerce and industry. It is critical to identify where these tribes are so that they can be protected from deforestation and industrial development. I really hope we can find them, but not disturb them.
