People from the cooler climates of North
America and Europe are especially drawn to the idea of tropical forests. In five years, the number of visitors to Manaus, a city by Brazil's
Amazon River, increased by 6 times. This interest that people have in seeing what the rainforest looks like is an obvious economic reason
to preserve it.
