Well yea, it did, but I'm just saying, industrialistion is dangerous in that it can cut down and kill many animals. Take a look at Brasil and its cutting down the amazon, which provides like 60% of oxygen to the planet. They literally had to start re-evaluating once they realised it was getting out of hand.That all happened before America became a world power and around the time America was industrializing. But today none of that is happening. Middle America is sparsely populated and filled with wildlife today and most of the biggest national parks are in that area. Most of the densely populated areas in America are in the coastal areas.
And Europe killing off its wild animals happened way before the modern world, hell I would say ever since the spread of the Roman Empire. In todays modern world there are more protections for wildlife. Even in the least developed African countries. I agree fully that Africans need to be cautious. But I'm sure they will as their national parks are big money makers[world wide] and harming any wildlife would only harm their money.
Someone earlier said Africa should be one dubai, hell no. Did you know the sahara was once a forest until the egyptians fukked all of that up. We need to still take care of the planet, its our home and very important. One can still live comfortable while protecting the environment. Africa is not densely populated, as I said before, a handful of cities within a country is enough, we don't need over 5 dozen cities like america.
. A guy like Kabila is nothing that we haven't seen before in Africa - another shady dictator whom many of us believe is a Rwandan that loots the country just like Mobutu did. Problem is its DR Congo we're talkin about with the revenue we make from mining cobalt (we supply over 60 percent of it to the world) we should be in a far better position than we are now. This shyts been going on for over 2 decades now most of the revenue isn't making it to the treasury because these guys are looting the cash.
. Kabila and his whole family own businesses in and out of the country so him stepping down as the leader of our country doesn't do too much 
Game changer if that happens
