It's been nip and tuck all along, but we've got over 100,000 acres protecting the aquifer for over 2 million people. And protecting the wildlife that's lived there for millennia.

Now, a small area like this is tough enough for one state to pull off, so getting a nation and its neighbors to protect the Amazon is not easy. But, we have to start somewhere.

Tuskegee is mentioned in this video, but that's far from the worst thing...

In fact, it's not nearly as bad as most of the others. Still pretty bad, though.
