Cool Earth

I am currently reading about the charity Cool Earth which advocates protecting the South American rainforests by allowing charitable donors to give money to Cool Earth so that they can secure large parts of endangered rainforest and keep the loggers at bay.

On the surface it sounds like a noble idea, though I will do some thorough research on the Cool Earth project before endorsing it. The result of my research shall be reported later on this blog.

One point that has already been mooted is that the indigenous rainforest peoples should be allowed to administer the rainforests - their homeland - for themselves.
