The country's planned investments in projects may lead to “permanent environmental degradation” by causing pollution, habitat loss, and wildlife mortality, among others, as per the Voices Against Autocracy report.

A lot of topics here appear to trigger a debate of ideoligies or between "first world" and "third world" (I decry such terminology, but let's put that aside now), as if that would solve any problem. It's sort of of double standard: environmental pollution is bad and good, surveillance is bad and good ... it just depends who commits the crime ...

If you've got a couple of minutes, scroll through the images from around the globe to see where we're all heading as a global human race. (Ah, yes, the current climate crisis has been and is still being caused mostly by the US and many countries in Europe, and, yes, these countries must change their lifestyles and they are financially liable for the crises. These are two of many issues I agree with my friends from China, South America and Africa.)
