Plan to build scientific research centre and 6 mile walkway through Amazon rainforest

[Fkeu'itan]

Hmm, as per usual, i'm somewhat dismissive of this idea. It's a good idea that they should build it out of bamboo, provided it comes from a reasonable source and isn't flown half way around the world to accomodate it, but i'm rather more concerned by the idea of it being some kind of 'tourist attraction'. Those kinds of efforts can have colossal detremental effects on the local ecology... Aside from the fact that the kind of 'tourists' visiting such a place will more than likely have little respect for such an issue, rather, they just see it as their 'last chance to see'.

Maybe i'm being cynical, but something tells me inside that doing this to such a highly preserved and endangered part of the world is just... wrong.
