"Same same but different" as they say here in Cambodia. Seems like a similar government strategy, perhaps there should be a unity government for Malaybodia, and we can work together to destroy nature in a more cooperative manner 😁.
Funny, but one of the few things I love about the USA is our national parks, national forest, and all different types of wilderness areas. Surely we would've destroyed like anywhere else in the world, but Europeans only arrived a few hundred years ago, just as human governments were beginning to understand the value of preserving wilderness. Unfortunately for Cambodia most of its forests were destroyed before modern science would provide reasons to keep some of it around 🤔😒.
