BRASILIA, Brazil - Foreigners who want to visit the Amazon region may soon need permits from Brazil's government.
National Justice Secretary Romeu Tuma told The Associated Press on Friday that the government plans to send Congress a bill to require the permits within months. It is meant to prevent foreign meddling and illegal activity in the world's largest remaining tropical wilderness.
The law reflects long-standing suspicions among conservative politicians and the military that foreigners working to help Indians and save the rain forest are actually spearheading an international attempt to wrest the Amazon and its riches away from Brazil.
