    The United States and the Brazilian government are working together to protect the Rain Forest and the Yonomami people.  In the 1960’s many settlers and minors came to the Rain Forest in search for gold and homes.  Then in 1991 Brazils government gave 36,000 square miles to the Yanomami people.  The illegal loggers are still cutting down the trees when there not suppose to, and 1.8 of the logging is illegal.  Now Brazil is getting strict about illegal logging, and still trying to protect the 12% of the Amazon.
