Why isn't the entirety of the Amazon basin made into one giant nature reserve?
This would stop all the deforestation and habitat destruction because the military could shoot anyone who does illegal activity in the giant nature reserve
>>
in that case why not make the whole world into a nature reserve
>>
>>73437991
We would have to genocide everyone to achieve that
It would be a good idea to make regions with low population into nature reserves because only some people would be needed to be relocated

A large portion of it is already protected but naturally that doesn't stop loggers because defending such a gigantic area is simply impossible and the native retards in charge of defending it sell their land to loggers for peanuts instead.

Now fuck off, we need the land for pastures.
>>
>>73438118
>>73438193
the amazon is not more "naturally natural reserve" than any other part of the planet

it just seems like it due to some tropical otherness that europeans are strangers about

on a non-humanistic scale arctic may serve just as well since animal life or whatnot is priceless no matter the amount, so this leads to something like bullying brazil when the great reef ecology is totally destroyed

why don't you be a hypocrite more jukko

>stop all the deforestation

Pro tip: old vegetation stops absorving so much CO2, so if you have a forest, it's better to cut down the big trees and put new, younger, faster growing trees in place. Not like it would mean anything, the ocean captures way more CO2 than every forest on Earth combined.
Also pic related: Genetically modified eucalyptus growing fast as fuck and with little to no branching, meaning faster, easier and less contaminating procedures.

Right now, only Brazil (I'm not sure 100% what they do with it, but they do generate quite a big % of their energy through hydro) and China (used mostly to stop desertification, not for consumption) have genetically modified trees.
And the US is considering them, with their paper industries being the ones investing the hardest.
I'm not sure about every other country. But even then, isn't it better to have a tree capture your CO2, and then re-releasing it into the atmosphere than pumping millenia old captured CO2 in the form of coal and oil? Far more renewable for sure.

If we stop our factories to make them the same, the world won't feel nothing.

Well the Maori did sell some of their land or "lease" it to the Pakhea but they still want to control most of their land. The Treaty made it that if the Maori want to sell their own land they have to sell it to the monarchy first before selling it to the settlers. But this is a 19th century European superpower were talking about so they purposely wrote the Treaty with vague terminology and promises so they can not only easily abuse it but also exploit it as much they can (for themselves of course), hence why the Maori only own 10% of their land today

This map shows all the regions in Brazil that have at least some sort of legislation protecting them.
>Why isn't the entirety of the Amazon basin made into one giant nature reserve?
Because there are many natural resources in the forrest, such as iron, wood, even oil. Those grow more and more scarce by the day and are vital parts of the Brazilian economy (for example: iron ores are the second largest Brazilian export). Keep in mind that as of today, most of the companies that exploit natural resources in the Amazon rainforrest are not of South American countries, they are, in fact, foreing owned companies. For example, Vale is the largest Brazilian mining companing and it is owned by no one else but Soros. Also there are dozens of millions of people living in the region. For example, Manaus is the largest Brazilian city in the Amazon, and it has a population of 1.8 million people, and that's just one of the cities.
As a Brazilian who studies Brazil in depth, I can guarantee you that anyone who says all of the Amazon should be a giant nature reserve is either a troll or very naive.

We are stopping them hence exposing these methods but its not so easy to get the big fish when the peasants barely knew about their employers.
Besides its hard to grab tontos since using group messaging is not illegal and these tontos are often disposeable poorfags paid by triads and such.
Besides we have limited staff to handle refugee crisis, pirates, wreck looters, subsidised item smugglers,chinese intruding boat and warships,human traffickers etc to do everything.
Good thing now we have UAVs with long loiter time to spy the loggers and tail them to their factories without them knowing.
There is also the army intelligence unit that operates ground radars to bust logging operations but most of the time they are occupied with other tasks.
Would be nice to have those Burger border patrol predator drones though.

Google "Vilela family" and "Ênio Pipino", I think you can find a few texts in English.They're savages.
The Vilela family are billionaires. Cattle is God to them, they use slave labor, kill natives and destroy small farmers all that.
Pipino used to give food to the natives to gain their trust and, after that, put arsenic in their food to kill and get their land. He also used to sell this land to small farmers and kill them to get it back.

Her great-grandfather was a coronel, she told me that along with having slaves they also "owned" the entire population that lived in "their" lands, towns, cities, whatever. One of my grandma's sister had a kid with a mongrel so they disowned her and took her along with the baby to some place inland just so she wouldn't bring shame to them.

Yes,our coast alone needs tons of ships,manpower and radar plus since we follow Bong style police the criminals knew we will never be trigger happy unless fired upon and police rarely carry guns.
Sultan Kiram also contributed to that, look up Lahad Datu Standoff. Some guy in the Philippines claimed Bongs cheated his ancestors, gathered 200men and holed themselves in a plantation in Sabah to claim an entire state.
A literal pirate invasion that resulted in mobilising 1/5 our entire security forces and draining manpower from other states plus permanent security presence there which eats up our budget for armour, naval base and helicopters so we have limited budget to increase drone coverage on forests at the moment.

If you knew jack shit about the context of why the treaty was signed you'd realise the British didnt "trick" the Maori, they didn't need to.
Britain had the lions share of global trade and didn't need some out of the way island with trees and whales to help turn a profit, not to mention the fact that colonisation and subduing natives is a losing investment. They were spending 50k pounds a year (without adjustment for inflation) on NZ by 1850, with no abundance of resources Britain didn't already have ready access to elsewhere. There was no pull factor.
Humanitarian softcocks like you whinged to the colonial office about Maoris and migrants scamming each other in land transactions, and guilted the colonial office into "protecting" both parties by introducing the ToW, which was poorly translated due to it practically being written overnight.
