Licence Reminder

For failing to obtain a licence, a respected biologist, Marc van Roosmalen, faces 14 years in prison. I smell something fishy about this. One wonders whether vested interests of those who are involved in clearing the Amazonian rainforest may have something to do with it.

 

A rather sad irony is that van Roosmalen, who was born Dutch, took Brazilian citizenship in 1996. That means that the Dutch government no longer have any power to intervene in his case.
