A little rant-y but I think it is pretty gross how the responsibility of nature conservation gets put on global south countries that are having their ecosystems butchered by international companies and so on like all these international campaigns to save the amazon rainforest or celebrities advocating for the conservation of the Yasuni tend to focus on the governments of those countries but the reality is it is not just those governments and the people of these countries who you assume "don't care" but a bigger system of exploitation that comes from the global north, it is not like people in these countries are idiots who don't know destroying the environment is bad (who by the way are the ones most directly affected) but rather that a system of economic exploitation based on the extraction of resources has been built at a global scale and if these countries try to deviate from it at all they get punished with the full weight of imperialism, it is not that third world governments aren't capable of exploiting and doing this shit on their own but when one of the main tasks of the IMF is going into these counties and forcing open the oil and mining industry for international market it seems a little disingenuous to put all that responsibility of that destruction of that country with much less power ... like at the end of the day any advocacy for the environment that doesn't center and recognize that it is imperialism and capitalism that is the cause it is pretty meaningless and just another form of propaganda to wash away the crimes of the empire and the way that those same people who claim to care about the environment in the global north are the ones benefiting from the exploitation of the global south
