It's not that expensive if you're growing your own crops year round, including BANANAS you harvest natural resources, such as wind and solar power, distil your own water, don't DRIVE (where am I going to drive in the middle of the jungle?), raise your own animals.. such as chickens, goats, etc., and there is PLENTY of fish in the sea! If you're able to make yourself selfsufficient, what money is there to need? But what does any of that matter if you're saving a species, whether it be a rare species of banana only grown there or a baby monkey that lost it's mother and might of been sold on the streets for only a few dollars? There really isn't a comparison there! The only thing I'm worried about is, how am I going to get my nanas there! LOL Hope they don't get confinscated if I have to smugle them in...
