    A worthy cause to die for, I think robots are a great way to monitor large areas of mother nature’s last sanctuaries.

    R.I.P. those souls who fought with their lives for good causes, for what they believe is right. For the rest of us who still alive, even far away from the Amazon, it is great having empathy. Our words might support one side and our actions the other, which one do you think has a stronger impact? Should we consider how we contribute on our every day for this kind of things to happen? What we buy, where we buy, how much we buy. Let's think of supply and demand. We can make adjustments in our day to day, re-evaluate our culture and customs. The easiest way is saying... I am just one person, it's been like this for years, it won't change anything, but that statement will fall into pieces if we look back in history.

    Such a tragic loss of human lives. So so sad that they were killed trying to defend their land. Sounds as though we haven't progressed at all. History is only repeating. Condolences to their family and colleagues.
