For the average person, it’s hard for many to see the effects. IMO the difficulty in the ability to feel directly impacted by the changing environment is a prime reason for the current day apathy. As I understand it the loss of animal and plant life is occurring primarily in Africa and South America. Countries in these continents have an interest in using their natural resources for economic purposes in order to obtain the standard of living western democracies currently enjoy. What is a practical, reasonable way to convince the populace of those countries to NOT try to better their economy?
