The destruction of the forests for financial gain, often for some far a field share holders in a company is a crime against the earth. Dumb, short sighted and needs our help to stop it.
I understand that one poor chap, may be tempted to cut down a few trees around him, to earn some money for his family in the short term.
If we buy products originating in deforested areas we are contributing to this destruction. E.G Garden furniture, palm oil products, or food that has it in, soya products and its production.
