Indonesia is burning. So why is the world looking away? | George Monbiot
A great tract of Earth is on fire and threatened species are being driven out of their habitats. This is a crime against humanity and nature
Hasnain says:
"Governments ignore issues when the media ignores them. And the media ignores them because … well, there’s a question with a thousand answers, many of which involve power. But one reason is the complete failure of perspective in a de-skilled industry dominated by corporate press releases, photo ops and fashion shoots, where everyone seems to be waiting for everyone else to take a lead. The media makes a collective non-decision to treat this catastrophe as a non-issue, and we all carry on as if it’s not happening."
