Hey nice talking to ya!
One of my teachers in high school told me a story from his college days. Him and some other students went to the Amazon to try and collected tree leaves in hope of finding something that would fight the AIDs virus. They didn't think it would work, but it did! Except, when they went back to find the tree, it had been cut down. who knows how many more exist and could be found. Some amazon animals survive in a very small section of the forest.
