Deforestation in a country is normally seen as an outsourced problem. As in it usually extends from outside investors who choose to log forests for profit. But now it seems that finding a solution for deforestation may be deterred from within.

In fact it is outside investors like Great Britain that are funding the efforts to stop deforestation. But in nations where there has been a history of political turmoil and still is in the same volatile state, it may not be the best idea to give money to political elite who may only squander it all; on things that will only contribute to carbon emissions nonetheless. People will have to realize that saving the natural world is not as easy as dropping some change in a salvation bucket.
