Efforts to preserve the Amazonian rainforest have always been rife with plenty of controversy.  This is either attributed to the fact that environmental protectionism is often seen as a blow to economic growth or because well-intentioned businesses end up exploiting local residents to green up their image.  It is this precarious tightrope that Rainforest Expeditions (RFE) walks between engagment and exploitation, between preservation and profit.  This week's featured New Ventures entrepreneur has rapidly grown its eco-tourism business by offering adventurous clients a quality experience of full-immersion in the Peruvian Amazon.  Its sustainable practices ensure that it is not only providing the vacation of a lifetime for its current customers, but for future generations as well.
