Surprise surprise; we learned science, we have scientists and we talk at international levels BUT who listen? logging and total forest clearing continuous. Imagine this open area at the top of the hills and long rivers to the coast. Heavy rain will bring huge volume of water and mud to the lower levels. Flash flood and mud flood. Who are the victims?
