Most science shit that's useful in products you can get from the forests get taken by companies either way and the natives get jackshit nothing since their public knowledge and expertise becomes private/patented. See how comp sci and computer shit turned from an open field into the state it is now.

Fuck the environment

The liberalization of capital and markets in export countries by state-capitalist interests that in turn have protectionist economics intervening in the market for industry, like the USA. Basically results in the people of the country losing most if not all of their wealth and their agency. The capital is then funneled through international finance into the pockets of the elite with help from the state. Meanwhile the proletariat living in America, the place with the highest level of wealth inequality is living as a money laundry acting as a wage slave and buying debt, petrol, and the products of the before mentioned stolen capital
The ecological consequences are by far the most disturbing, and are greatly diminishing our chances for survival.
South east Asia is obviously already suffering, look at sub Saharan Africa, Central/south America, Haiti, the oceans, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

The south east asian rainforests have a larger effect on the global climate than either the amazon or the congo rainforests. In climatology they call the area the marine continent. But locally it'll have the effect of reduced winds carrying away pollution and smog as well as reductions in humidity leading to reduced crop yields which will probably hit Thailand pretty hard cos they export shit tonnes of food.
