uses undergraduate students to work on their projects

They are very successful on their projects, they have a great
influence on companies, receiving a lot of media cover

Conclusion
Their goal is very important, they help a part of Brazil that is
very important to the world.

I wouldn't spend my money helping them, because they
already receive a lot of donations, and I am not used to
donate money.

When one of their projects succeed, the lives of indigenous
people, the Amazon's situation, and the situationof key
stones species are protected.

More place for them to live
Less of the florest are devastated
Key Stone species are preserved
