Brazil will offer free satellite Internet connections to indigenous tribes in the Amazon according to a report from Reuters.  It says that the plan will help reduce illegal logging by enabling natives to monitor and report on illicit activities.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.mongabay.com/2007/0330-brazil.html">
"It's a way to open communications between indigenous communities, former slave villages, coconut crackers, river fishermen and the rest of society," said Environment Minister Marina Silva in a statement. "These communities are the true protectors of their areas."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.mongabay.com/2007/0330-brazil.html">
The initiative will bring Internet access to 150 small communities in the Amazon and other remote parts of Brazil.  The federal government will not provide computers -- this will be up to state and local governments.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.mongabay.com/2007/0330-brazil.html">
Separately the Brazilian government has ordered more than one million low-cost laptops from the One Laptop Per Child initiative.  It is unclear whether any of these laptops will end up in the hands of children in these communities.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.mongabay.com/2007/0330-brazil.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/news.mongabay.com/img/937A78A8-3FA8-438A-B1D7-E9DCD2148B8A" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EBCEAA54-93B6-4084-86E5-D0182094CB81/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
