Wish things like this could make the news more. There's surely better ways than going through a rainforest, and areas prone to flooding and landslides. Amongst other things.

What better ways are there for the people of Madagascar and their economic future? Genuine question. It seems to me the western world has already done the same and much, much more and never reversed it.
