I like how Europe (and USA to some extent) destroyed their forests and biodiversity long ago, and now are pushing other, poorer societies to preserve biodiversity for the whole world while staying poor.
If you're so concerned about forests why don't you grow some yourself instead of bullying other countres?
Expecting a lot of dislikes from Bay Area which is a huge plot of ecosystems destroyed for profit.
- ip26 8y agoThe deforested parts of the world absolutely should work to reforest. But, the rainforest is some of the most important ecosystem on the planet, containing more biodiversity than anywhere else (except maybe coral reefs) and providing globally valuable ecosystem services like carbon sequestration. Therefore it is extremely high on the priority list. It's also usually more cost effective to avoid destroying something than to restore something.
