That’s poor country rhetoric They have that attitude until they get rich and then they reforest And also If we have discovered all there is to discover why haven’t we discovered ways to exist without max environmental destruction? I think this is just stupid 😂

The problem is short of government incentives ( like China Green for grain program to convert farmland to forrest lands) there's not a lot of private lands that it's really feasible to do. It would have to fall on the corporations that are causing the deforestation to do it, which lol they won't, because green costs money.

No what I'm saying is without incentives to reforest it's cheaper for companies to completely de forrest a region and then simply move on to the next one, then to create a viable sustainable reforestation strategy for a region.

I understand extract and abandon is what poor people do but as the world gets wealthier there are fewer poor people and fewer issues with that, as people feel secure enough to make term plans and implement policy
