For people who have never been to Brazil, the Amazon (is) a massive jungle full of anacondas, howler monkeys and lost Indian tribes. To the Brazilian government, and to the Brazilian people, it (is)more than that.  In Amazonas state, the largest state in the north Brazil, Manaus city (is) home to 1.8 million people, nearly half the state's 3.4 million population, according to the Brazilian census bureau IBGE's 2010 data. In Para, another large Amazon state, (there are) 7.5 million inhabitants.  That (doesn't)count the five other states, including parts of Mato Grosso, that (constitute) the Amazon biome, Brazil's largest geographic area bar none.  Over six million people (live) in those five states, and they need to work, they need to eat, and they need electricity. And, their numbers are (growing). It is the one part of Brazil where the population is (growing) fastest. It is the emerging market within the emerging nation that is Brazil. To keep the lights on without burning fossil fuels, Brazil is committed to hydro power.
