In January, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina announced plans to build a pipeline through the Amazon. A recent article claims that China's Three Gorges Dam is viewed positively by an influential South African.
...former South African minister of water affairs and forestry Ronnie Kasrils wrote an article praising the Three Gorges Dam which was published in China’s People’s Daily.
I was unable to locate and confirm said piece in English.
Meanwhile, India was urged to save its tigers from being driven to extinction by poachers. Tigers in the Sariska reserve were wiped out. The remaining tigers could be extinct in a generation. On the Tibetan side, tiger skins were on brazen display.
These data points should be seen as a warning to the West that environmentalism is not a priority in third world countries. It is also evidence that leftist governments are not automatically environmentalists either.
