A woman cooks along the banks of Aripuana River in the Juma Sustanaible Development Reserve, 300 km (186 miles) from Manaus, October 17, 2008. In the Juma forest reserve deep in Brazil's Amazon, conservationists will receive money from a Brazilian bank and a global hotel chain to protect trees and combat global warming. The project is seen as a test case watched by other potential donors, mostly in rich countries, who want to help preserve tropical forests as a way to reduce their carbon footprints but have doubts about accountability and measuring success.
