	loving the rain forest to death
		PORTO VELHO, Rondonia, Brazil - International criticism of the Brazilian government's efforts to continue to open up this tropical forest region for migrant settlers is at a fever pitch.
		Providing these investments to ensure the availability of adequate farm inputs, technical assistance and transportation to markets is critical for stabilizing and intensifying agriculture in the areas already shorn of their forest cover.
		To attain their goal of protecting the remaining tropical forests of Rondonia and Acre, Brazilian and international conservationists must develop much stronger lobbying for policies that promote investment in sustainable agriculture and forestry development.

	American Metal Market: Tin venture seen boosting exports - Estanho do Rondonia - Brief Article
		Cesbra, Brazil's second-biggest tin producer, and Best Metais e Soldas formed Estanho do Rondonia to move their smelting operations closer to the source of their tin ore, the Bom Futuro Mine in western Rondonia state.
		Until recently, when Estanho do Rondonia became operational, Best had been turning out around 850 metric tons of tin metal annually at a Sao Paulo smelter--exporting almost none of it--and Cesbra had been producing around 1,600 tons of tin metal at a Rio de Janeiro state smelter and Rondonia state smelter, exporting about 600 tons.
		Best and Cesbra, having consolidated all their tin smelting operations at Estanho do Rondonia's new smelter and at Cesbra's existing smelter in Rondonia, have brought extraction and smelting operations closer together, reducing production costs.
