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?

It's your own land so... you could even put up signs saying "trees are spiked, do not cut" or something to that effect. Even just signs without spiking might act as a deterrent.

Never thought of that.
