Other than dat, as Itame said, "stop cutting the trees and white people will pay for not doing it. The Amazon is experiencing drought-something to do the winds prevailing in Costa Rica. The Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
All Guyana needs to do is to demand that the Asian adhere to what they promised uinder their contract, or get lost. It makes no sense to enagge in environmentally destructive activities for pennies. When these trees are cut their needs to be remediation. Who is going to pay for it.
In addition 20% of the population remains unemployed. You cannot scream high crime when many continue to starve or remain trapped in dead end occupations.
This is why Guyana is so poor. It sells its resources for limited value added and is unable to absorb a large part of its population in productive activities.
40 years ago there were all sorts of plans for the forestry sector, and even then a market existed. Its utter laziness to scream that the best that we can do is sell raw logs and allow others to derive benefit from processing these materials.
