Developed countries (ie, the US) who have fucked up the environment trying to use the threat of force (law) against poor subsistence farmers in the rainforest as a last-ditch effort to save the environment vs. finding solutions that help these people survive in ways that preserve the environment.
Another great example of this is how international fishing outfits destroyed the lively hood of Somali fisherman by literally killing people with their fishing boats and also overfishing -- then poor fisherman can either die from warlords, die from starvation, or die trying to hijack international ships. The third option includes a chance of a million dollar payday.
Instead of working to help these fishing villages, the solution is private security firms and UN navy ships.
