I would like to hear more about why you think this. Isn’t the opposite currently occurring? In other words, we have land grabs by private companies responsible for destroying entire ecosystems for mining, agriculture, livestock and seafood, as only a few examples. We have products like Brazilian beef and Indonesian palm oil that are destroying whole biospheres. And it’s exactly the kind of back room dealing that allows these exports to flood our markets knowing full well the damage they cause.

yes agree and, simple statements certainly do not portray complex systems. this topic calls for a substantive response. I will note quickly that the ability to measure and compare over vast areas, is increasing dramatically in the Information Age. There has to be a civilian, science-based and impartial component, along with the diligence and readyness of dot-mil participants, to steer away from the worst outcomes. No one should take political statements or partial information at face value -- critical thinking, checks and balances, trust and verify, are crucial IMHO.
