The rainforest project seems to be at a stand still as they are looking for more private contributers. All government funds have been put on hold until the project matches the grantee money through private donations. There have only been two significant private donations and that was ten million dollars by the man who had the original idea and then there is an electric company who also donated another ten million dollars as long as they were to power the facility. Since these two donations no one else has stepped forward. Is this a sign that not enough people care about this place to even make it successful? When most people in the area hear about it they find it as the biggest waste of money. And in our online poll on this website it shows mixed emotions. How much longer will the government wait before pulling our funding?
