An orangutan having a lovely stroll through his habitat. - Lemmy.World

What am I supposed to do about this?

I don’t have an excess of money I can donate to conservation. I can email my local politician but what’s that realistically going to accomplish?

I have no power to change this, but it just makes me feel shitty.

Dismantle capitalism or end resource scarcity those are really the only options.

Yeah we need to dismantle our entire economic system in order to prevent deforestation /s

Downvotes incoming, proper regulation is the actual realistic solution

Is deforestation, fossil fuels, water usage, land usage, animal cruelty.

No need to be so myopic greed is the cause of all of these things.

Enforcing this kind of regulation will need military intervention. The actual negotiable solution is to pay thosr nations to preserve the land. You can’t stop them from making money from their resources.
