A man innocently sells charcoal at a local Peruvian market. However, the origin of the charcoal is the Peruvian Amazon, which is slowly being deforested by lumber companies and local citizens who have no other way to make a living. Fortunately, this is changeing for the better as more individuals are employed by tourism. So the next time someone tells you to save the rain forest, the best thing you could do would be to physically go and see it. Thanks for looking and I love comments!
