In just eighteen months, this bank gave $378 million to oil & gas expansion in the Amazon.

Dravidian loves the Amazon Rainforest. He seeks comfort there when the modern world gets to be too much. He was born there and has 2 animal familiars who benefit from his longevity, an anaconda (Kara) and a Jaguar he calls (Jaci). He speaks several of the indigenous languages and knows the tribes.
