That is a great point to bring up my friend, that when one industry collapses there should be something else there take its place, because people still left the work right?
I remember reading a story about giant sea manta rays, how they're being hunted for their one gland that Chinese medicine did something. it was the only way for some local people to earn money by hunting them, however when they change the industry and moved it more into sanctuary and Park, it brought in an increase in tourism which broaden increase in funding that was more than they made by harvesting these animals.
I do hope that the global pandemic is not backtracking people to their old ways.
Thank you for the comment!
