People need jobs as well, and that is the reason why the government permits mining and logging activity. Also, the government gets a lot of revenue from these activities, in the form of cess and tax. But it is important to balance the revenue needs with environmental protection.
Jobs and earning money shouldn't by all means compromise the environment. These companies are looking at it from a small selfish point. We only have this planet we're living at and all your wealth won't save you if this planet gives up becausenof what we're doing to it
I agree with what you are saying, but the needs of the people can't be ignored. There are many methods to do mining and logging, without causing significant damage to the environment. As long as the balance is maintained, everything is going to be OK.
