Thing about the Amazon is it isn't as much an epidemic-type thing like the Pandora problem. On Pandora, the trees were just mercilessly cut down only to clear for an area to mine, not to actually use what was just destroyed. And plus, it was done on a much larger scale than what's being done to the Amazon. Same thing when some of the old western settlers killed bulls soley for the skins, or when the Mayans cleared their own forests for their stone cities, or just used the wood for fuel.

Hotel Rwanda. Message still rings true, though... sadly.
