The original posting referred to collecting fish and Plants ( not specified
what type). Thuh.

pools you speak of are typically located. Were talking about flooded forest
areas.>>
That may be the case, but there are species and subspecies of fish that are
endemic to several feet of river frontage on major rivers. Thuh.

Guided trip or not, my point was that even with the proper paperwork, and all
the permits. Brazil is cracking down and frowning upon any foreigner, tourist
or not taking their natural resources. If you don't believe me contact Andre
Schoonwille of the KFN on his experiences last year.
Thuh.
