Would this be a ransom?
If it's true that the Amazon Rainforest is "the lungs which produce 20% of the planet's oxygen" then shouldn't other countries be paying them an annual sum for not developing that land? We shouldn't expect them to provide the world with this valuable resource for free.

Something is being ransomed from you only if it belonged to you; the Amazon rainforest doesn’t belong to us it belongs to Brazilians; this is more like Coase Theorem.

"They" are not providing us with this resource, the forest is. "They" are providing the service of forgoing development of the land and yes it would be reasonable to ask others to contribute for this sacrifice. But "pay us or we will burn it down" is not a good precedent!

They didn't say that. My thought was, if we had been paying, they might now be taking more care with it.

If we could figure out ways to monitor it (satellites?), lots of poor countries could b paid to plant / let grow loooots of forest

Payment for ecosystem services, debt for nature swaps, and similar measures have been part of foreign aid and discussions around international measures for some time, e.g. http://www.unredd.net/about/what-is-redd-plus.html …

Other countries do. Like Norway, who not long ago decided to hold back the money, (like 4 mill USD) because Bolsonaro is not actually spending the money towards preservation.

Every few years they would threaten to burn it down unless we paid them more.

If we were paying them enough it would be in their interest not to screw with us like that.
