Except destroying the rain forests is gonna do absolutely nothing to help the Brazilian poor.

So I’m not sure what being truly poor has anything to do with this. This will be almost entirely about displacing the poor, poisoning their water, and rewarding corrupt cronies.

Indeed. It's probably going to be even worse for the poor in the affected area from now on.

Illegal wood extraction doesn't only kill trees. Those criminals have historically killed citizens in order to prevent being caught.
