It used to be an absolutely beautiful place.
Unfortunately they've clear-cutted everything.
All the trees are gone from the bottom of
the hills right up to the highest point.
So every evening there is a down pour
of rain and it's torrential.
So all of that rain washes all of the
topsoil from the tops of the hills all the
way down and it just cascades all the
way through the streets and
flows right into the oceans.
So all the topsoil is gone.
They can't grow anything.
All that topsoil is now in the ocean and
it's destroying the coral reefs,
pushing the fish stocks farther and
farther away and their little boats aren't
capable of getting farther and
farther away for fishing.
So it's a, it's a ever evolving disaster
until someone, you know, really gets it together.
Plant trees, and show them how to work
again and I don't know.
I don't know where to start.
It's so vast. It's so vast. It's to me hopeless.
