Replanting effort aims to salvage Amazon forest
A 12 mile conveyor belt transports bauxite through the Amazon as 1998 saplings rise in replanted areas, with Rio do Norte reforesting with the original fruit and nut species.

Evil twins fate in Colombia custody case
In Bogota a custody dispute over 6 month old twins Juan and Keira Aguablanca from the Uwa tribe tests Colombia's balance between protecting minority cultural practices and child welfare. Adoption centers favor keeping the babies with foster families, while Uwa leaders seek time to reexamine customs. Courts are reviewing the tribe's appeal amid safety and rights concerns.
