This is really sad to view this deforestation and otherwise degradation of the earth's forests and biodiversity. Although the filmclip is a couple of years old, it is still very viable information.
As for "Debt Swap", what the heck is that and how does that pump financial resources into a project? I'll swap my debt for yours and that will give me money to do something with? I wish they had given a more detailed explanation about exactly what a debt swap is and how it works.
