During my travels I came to mind that you will find these destructed forests, which are destroyed by forest fires. The question comes to mind in how many cases it was a natural fire and when people lighted it.
For sure there is a benefit for destroying the nature, which is that the property then can be used for building purposes and so the lands value will be increased. This destructive behaviour has for sure already benefited quit some people…
The hard part is to prove that this happened and then who created the fire, because most likely the landowner would hire some body to light it. Anyway the results are quit clear, first off like the picture there will be empty hills that are more vulnerable to earthquakes. Then second there will be an increase in property development, the sad part about this is that it’s always at the cost of the beautiful nature.
