They just don't care if the rest of the planet burns (literally) as long as they are making boatloads of money.

"Land Grabbers", go in and chainsaw large areas, ILLEGALLY, then sell it to this company to grow grain and soybeans. So.....the company is buying land illegally. Apparently they don't have to show title? Or that's just glossed over. Once again, indigenous peoples' rights are stomped on.

This is a tough battle to fight when the leader of the country is intent on selling out said country. Oh wait a minute.....that sounds familiar.
