Alan Thein Durning Quotes
Dispossessed peasants slash-and-burn their way into the rain forests of Latin America, hungry nomads turn their herds out into fragile African rangeland, reducing it to desert, and small farmers in India and the Philippines cultivate steep slopes, exposing them to the erosive powers of rain.

In desperation, they knowingly abuse the land, salvaging the present by savaging the future.
