We hear of stories where someone who is almost on the streets by a stroke of good luck gets rich. All this is appreciated as a lot of effort, thinking and planning goes into that achievement. But there are some who do it at the cost of nature. Here is one.
This individual with hardly any formal education goes abroad and after collecting some dough returns to his motherland and starts a business of construction. He puts up his first building which is a turning point in his life to rise from rags to riches.
There is an area here around 6 km from where I stay which is a hub for education and hospitals. He takes advantage of the likely clientele he will find there for his apartments and goes on building them one after another – skyscrapers in a laid back silent, semi rural town.
The forests are cut down and replaced with concrete jungles. The animals go helter skelter and are found in human habitats leading to them being killed. The reptiles have nowhere to go and they too face the same fate.
Bore wells are dug everywhere which will soon lead to water shortage but no shortage in his bank account. Money just pours in.
The man becomes famous. He is invited to be the chief guest at all functions. He forgets the past. He now owns several posh vehicles – the works.
He is conferred a doctorate for his achievements.
For me they are no achievements. He has destroyed the topography. He has destroyed the environment.
What is disturbing is society values. How someone who is the cause for destroying nature could be recognised and to make matters worse is that he is conferred with a degree.
It is time society thinks differently. The world is on the verge of destruction and therefore it is time society takes a serious note of what happens if activities such as the one described here are encouraged.

I guess he got away for committing a crime in destroying the natural habitats of the wild animals. I am pretty sure, it will not happen at present. The governance in every place had been polished to strictly follows by the locals. He falls into the category of an illegal logger. In my country, the locals who had been in this activity were given the rules to stop doing it.
I hope he still has good conscience. He can still make up for his mistakes by organizing to plant trees in his area. It is not always having the profit to be gained. Thus, to save the mother earth and prevent from having dilemmas that had risen after the destruction by him.
Yes most of the people cutting jungles with the support of politicians and earning a lot of money and this hideous business is being done in all countries all over the world and those who are doing this jobs are committing crimes against nature and mankind.
I think that a jungle is a densely overgrown area while a rain forest is a densely overgrown area with overhead canopies formed by tall trees that prevent light from entering. A rain forest is a type of jungle.
Since rain forests have canopies that limit the amount of light, there are relatively few plants on the forest floor. If the rain forest canopy is destroyed, more light reaches the forest floor, causing increased plant growth.
Some plants that grow include vines, shrubs and other plants that require significant light to grow. The increased plant growth causes the rain forest to turn into a jungle.
Evergreen trees are most prevalent in the northerly latitudes of the northern hemisphere, where they are the primary components of the taiga, or boreal,
Typical plants that are found on the forest floor include a variety of ferns, mangrove trees and vines such as the strangler fig. Plant growth opportunitie.
