As far as corruption goes, I don't think it has a lot to do with Indonesia and Brazil. These are large places and it's hard to police every square inch of it without pretty good technology and money, once someone gets away with burning forest down, that's the end of it, why would there be a need for corruption in that case? If there is any serious corruption happening, it's in the west, imagine freely being allowed to sell products that contain palm oil with no penalty's or taxes attached. People in these countries are poor and desperate, they have more of a reason for behaving that way, McDonalds et al doesn't. I also never suggested sending in the cavalry or a repeat of shock and awe, I'm suggesting policing in co-operation with government of said countries to help protect a vital asset to not only humans but all species. Imagine using satellites to help quickly identify fires for example? When large parts of priceless Indonesian rain forest were burning to the ground, and still are, there was very little international discussion and assistance with: - Raising awareness, I doubt major western corporations wanted people to know about it. - Putting the fire out. - Stopping additional fires being started. - Regeneration and repair. Considering people starting fires aren't exactly friendly / educated people, maybe military assisted protection of the forest is better than innocent people just doing there best, I never suggested a war, I'm suggesting a peace keeping / guarding force.
