...wrong to attribute a significant part of the increase in Amazon deforestation to biofuels, as Mr. Grunwald does.

Tropical nations like Brazil and Indonesia, long wary about the impact that international trading could have on their sovereign forests, are beginning to see that markets could be a win-win, allowing them to keep their trees and capitalize on them.
