Protected by trees, left for shade and to break the wind and avoid erosion, coffee plants blanket a hillside at the Bastos farm, April 24, 2000 in Camaca, some 500 miles (800 kilometers) northeast of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil's northeastern Bahia state. Depending on who you talk to, Wanderlino Medeiros Bastos is either the Atlantic rainforest's worst nightmare or its last best hope. A coffee grower from Espirito Santo state, Bastos moved into this densely forested region five years ago intent on converting the region's failing cocoa plantations to coffee. (AP Photo/Douglas Engle)
