I think you should talk to them next time you see them and report them to the ranger.

Yell at them and tell them that what they are doing is wrong.

Please don't approach them because we want you to be safe. You can tell the park rangers where you saw the illegal logging and they can take care of it. After your trip, you could talk to people in the government of Peru and encourage them to make better laws and have more park rangers for the rain forest.

We think you should report it to the park rangers because they probably can do more about it than you.

You should talk to them saying: "You're taking away animals' homes, would you like that if it happened to you?"
If they listen, hurray! If they don't, just keep paddling. But remember, STAY IN YOUR CANOE!

We think that you should go and talk to the people about illegal logging. Who knows..... they might understand about what you are saying. You should lecture them and tell the illegal loggers about how they are affecting the environment.

I think that you should report them to the park rangers so that the park rangers know that they should patrol the area. Like you said it could be dangerous to even talk to them. Just be friendly and the next chance you get you can talk to the rangers about what the person looked like and where you saw them. Remember it's possible for the trees to go extinct and then no one could enjoy it then. If you really think it's safe to talk to them I guess you could but just remember safety is always first.

I think you should just ignore them because they might have deadly weapons or something.

My class thinks you should keep your distance and report the activity to the ranger. If you do get close enough to talk with them (like at your camp that night), maybe start a 'friendly' conversation with them where you tell them why you think the trees in the rainforest are so important. Don't make them feel threatened that you might turn them in. My class also thinks that it would be nice if the loggers planted a new tree for everyone they cut down, but realistically we don't think they would. Some even suggested that you carry a pack of seedlings and plant trees along the way.

We think you should talk to the illegal loggers then report them to the park rangers. Maybe if they know you are showing pictures on the internet they will stop. Be careful!!

We think you should report them because if you try to yell at them you might get hurt and if you tell the park rangers they might tell the police and they could do something about it becauase they are armed.

We think you MUST do something to stop the illegial loggers. Report them to the Rangers immediately and tell them exactly where to find them. Hopefully they will get put in jail. If they keep getting put in jail, maybe they will stop.

We are concerned for your safety. Therefore, although we would very much like to see you confront those who are involved in illegal logging, we feel that the risk is not worth it. We don't think the loggers would actually stop anyway just because you confronted them. We also doubt that the Park Rangers would do much to stop this activity since they seem to be allowing it to go on now. Our thought is that the best way to reduce the amount of illegal logging would be to campaign in this country to encourage people to refuse to buy wood from the rain forest. We are thinking of a boycott which could be encouraged through posters, articles, and TV news features. The loggers would be more likely to stop their activity if they could no longer make money by selling the wood.

WE SHOULD REPORT IT TO THE PARK RANGERS.

I think the next time you see the logger people you should ask them,what if someone was destroying their environment and how would they feel? You should tell them how important the rain forest is to the people, animals, and plants that live there and then they will probably understand.

I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE THEM TO THE PARK RANGERS

I think you should talk to them about how what they're doing is wrong.

I think you should tell a park ranger and if you can't find one try to stop them or tell them what they're doing wrong! Tell them your opinion what they should and shouldn't be doing.

YOU SHOULD TELL THEM TO STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND TELL THEM THAT THEY ARE WRONG OR CALL THE POLICE.

Tell them to not do it

I think you should talk to them and explain to them how important the trees are to you all and
tell them that you need those trees for building
homes and ask them what if someone messing up
your city what would you do?

We should tell them how we feel. I would report them to the park rangers.

You should talk to them about how you feel.

I think that the loggers should go to jail because they are really taking our air suppliy away, and they are killing plants and animals. Please try to do something not just for me but for the animals. You are doing something brave because I know I couldn't do that.

I THINK WE SHOULD TALK to them and tell them
what there doing wrong.

I THINK THAT WE SHOULD TELL THEM ABOUT HOW WE FEEL ABOUT IT.

We think that you should certainly take a stand. The park rangers are probably aware that the trees are vanishing and they are probably trying to find a way to stop it too.

My partner and I think you should make sure they know how important those trees are to the animals and that when you cut down ONE tree you are distroying TONS of animals' homes and natural habitats. We are sure that you would'nt want some random people coming by and destroying your house. Just think about the effect that you have on all of the animals and the whole forest. YOU will be the reason why the whole rainforest will be destroyed.

We think that you should report them to the park rangers because if you just smile and wave that won't help and they will destroy the rainforest.

My partner and I think you should that you should report these sightings to police or park rangers about the logging. Tell them descriptions about the men you saw and tell where the happenings are taking place.

Since it might be dangerous to go up to the loggers (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) we feel it would be best to report them to the rangers. Can the rangers be trusted?

Tell them the trees are important to animals and people. We may need them for building canoes or other things like houses but people don't really need them for anything besides building a home and canoes. They are already the animals' homes so let them be and don't destroy their homes!!!!! That's what you should tell them.

I think you should say to them,"excuse me, you can go to jail for that! And, if you stop, we won't call the police or tell the park rangers!" and if they don't stop, then report them.

Illegal logging is bad in soooooo many ways. It's hurtfull to the enviroment and to the animals that live in trees. You should some how contact athourities or someone who could try to stop them.

I think They should report them to the park ranger. If there is no park ranger, yell at them because its bad to cut down animals' homes

We are aware that the loggers already know that what they are doing is wrong. The Park Rangers do know what they are doing but can't seem to stop it. We think you could work through Reuben and Warren, since they are natives, to get the message to other natives to encourage them to push for the enforcement of the laws about logging.

4th Grade HAWK Students

You should talk to people that are from Peru so they can talk to other natives to try to stop illegal logging. After that you should talk to park rangers. REMEMBER DON'T GET OUT OF YOUR CANOE TO TALK TO THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHAINSAWS AND WE DON'T WANT YOU TO GET HURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We think you should approach the loggers calmly and tell them about the consequences of logging. We have just read the story, The Great Kapok Tree, and the information the animals share with the logger in this story is very important to know. Maybe the loggers don't think about the rainforest as being many animal's home, they don't think about the animals they are killing, they are taking away the oxygen by cutting down the trees and the they are taking away the beauty. We think by talking to them that maybe this will work, but if it doesn't we think you should inform the park ranger, and they can take it from there! We wish you well!

we could stop the illegal logging by telling the police and having them make an established law.

Try to arrange a police escort to join you in a day of talking to illegal loggers. Try to educate them about the effects of the illegal logging. Find out why they continue to do this. Promote more action with the Peruvian government. Ask all the students participating in Project Peru 2 to write letters to the government officials. Do you know of an address or a contact person we could write to?
