In today’s world, almost nobody can live without money, even those who still lives in very rural areas such as the jungles. Yes, they can definitely get their daily meals by going hunting, fishing and even farming; but how about other necessities which requires them to get from town? Unless business or shop owners in town still practice the Barter Trade System, there is no way for these people from the rural areas to get their necessities such as medicine or even transportation to the nearest town which could be hundreds of kilometers away at the nearest without MONEY!
With such difficulties, come other problems which might arise from their need for MONEY to survive in today’s world, and it is the Desperation that has Forced Villagers to Mistakes they would Regret a Lifetime. One of the most significant problems which could be seen if one looks close enough is the encouragement not by the loggers, but by the villagers themselves to invite loggers to reap the timber from their lands. And in such desperation, it is only logic that the loggers will take advantage by offering them an ironic small sum as the rental money for their land to be logged down. Being not affluently educated and faced with desperation, these village victims has no choice but allow their land to be “balded” for just a fraction of the price of what they would actually be getting for what the value is.
Regardless to the sum, the primary concern is actually the deterioration of the Forests as well as the contribution to the pollution which has become a very big issue since decades ago. Some of the most talked about effects are of course the green house effect, the extinction of flora and fauna, the imbalance in food cycle and a promoter to natural disasters to name a few.
It is already evident now that the newer generations from more developed countries would have to fly across the globe to see animals which their country once have many living in their forests. If this doesn’t come to a stop, it would really be sad to see that our upcoming generations would even only have to see these animals in preserved forms in museums.
Of course it is every Country Governments responsibility to curb or minimize on poverty issues which is one of the main contributors these issues, but it is also everybody’s responsibility to help generate the economic development especially those belonging to the private sectors in order to put a stop to the excessive logging which is still widely being practiced.
