si m mouri, ou pral mouri!” (if i die, you die!)

I think this poem holds true for many third world countries; their resources are being depleted. It seems like the people aren’t looking at the big picture. They see that they need something, they find it out in nature, but they don’t replace it. Its okay to cut down trees but the important thing is that you replace those trees because not replacing them is detrimental to the land. They’re just thinking in the short term; instead they should start looking at the long term. The problem is they don’t have a real government in place. It seems like they need someone to make some environmental regulations for the people to stick to. If not, there possibly won’t be a future for countries in these situations.
