Posted on September 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via alextorrenegra While we know that deforestation means a loss of carbon storage , it’s difficult to quantify just how much carbon can still be stored in what is left of the Amazon rainforest.

This South Florida man loves animals so much that when he offers them a helping hand, there’s a pretty good chance he won’t be getting it back, a lesson he’s learned once before. A while ago, he burned his arm so badly while trying to save a nest of
