For this assignment I went to search for a news story and found and article about an indigenous tribe in Guyana. This tribe, Wai Wai, decided to ban any miners or loggers from its section of the Amazon jungle. The reasoning behind this is ecotourism, research, and traditional crafts and lifestyles. This area is unique for its jaguars, blue poison frogs, and scarlet macaws. The United States is also financially supporting this effort.
