That applies for the Amazon rainforest only, but keep in mind the low level of education in the area and its remoteness for the rest of population, so absurd that they don't care anymore. The Atlantic rainforest, as I said, is a differ

I totally agree with you — born and raised in the Amazon here —, but consider that a lot of people (even if indirectly) involved with logging are indigenous, to whom money makes little sense. Giving them back their land plus quality life wo

Well... to be fair, if you wanna make sure your study reaches as many people as possible, you must eventually need to improve your presentational skills. Like, you know, we do for everything else. I understand you didn't imply this, bu

They might be flawed but they provide easy-to-use solutions that add value to a huge user base. If you think a solution is better, at least make it so you don't need to reeducate everybody on Earth. It's like that saying: would yo

Among many linguists the whole study of the Pirahã language is sort of bogus because it goes against a few core ideas of Chomsky that they love so much, almost like a dogma. I've never heard a linguist describing Everett's work as

Interesting, but I honestly didn't read there anything different than what was published/researched in the book Dog Sense.

Just a small anecdote: in southern Brazil there are a bunch of protected tree species and there used to be people collectives which dropped mud seed bombs around city gardens (I don't know if they were the same kind of manure/soil
