Murder prompts Brazil Amazon curb

Dorothy Stang spent decades defending Para's peasant settlers

Brazil plans to protect a huge swathe of the Amazon after the murder of a US-born missionary who had campaigned for the forest's peasant 
farmers.

Nearly four million hectares (10 million acres) in Para state will become a 
conservation area in a bid to ward off loggers and landowners.

The government will also reinforce the environmental police force.
