And they're sending them out to get mahogany and Spanish cedar and kenea and these really, really pricey hardwoods.
That's all they really want.
Yeah.
And so it's selective logging.
And so they'll come in.
Now, the problem is after they selectively log it, in 10 years or so, once that is removed,
then you'll get people coming in and going, well, there's really nothing here, so we'll just burn down the forest.
And to a lot of people, whether it's marshland, desert, rainforest, unless there's human industry on being extracted from land, it's just useless space.
It's wasteland.
And so even though the rainforest is filled with species, to a person on the ground that's poor, they go, well, if we burn all that down, we could grow papayas over there.
And so like to their logic, you burn something priceless, like burning down a cathedral to like heat up a tuna melt.
Like it doesn't make much sense.
And then your resource is destroyed because that forest is making your clean water.
That forest is providing you with fish
and timber and everything else you could possibly want.
It makes no sense.
And so these people aren't educated
But we come in and say, do you want 2X on your salary?
And they go, yeah.
And my kid has a problem with this.
