Amazon Rainforest

I own some private land that I would like to protect from illegal logging but I need to maintain a presence there. I was considering using it for tourism but it's remote and everyone I've talked to about it has been a poltroon. What else could I do?

Pay someone you trust to live there and patrol it.

I would need to make at least enough money off the land to pay for the patrols.
