OUTSOURCING OR SUB-MANAGEMENT POLICIES. Archaic countries have no desire, either intrinsic or extrinsic, to change anything. They practice secondary politics dictated by the powers that control them. I do not believe in the meaning of COUNTRY in the Arab world. There are only ugly and shameful leaders who have no values, and who occupy positions without even conceiving their meanings. What economic growth and ecosystems are you talking about?? I bet $3 that no Arab environment minister knows the meaning of an ecosystem, and you want to believe in Santa Claus thinking about economic strategies while trying to procrastinate with controversial international commerce terms? Those leaders are good at attending meetings, conferences, and symposiums, eating good food, and feeding their sexual thirst; but finding solutions to problems of that level is too much asking from them. You better ask for the opinion of that who pulls the bull by its horns, because these oddballs have really no weight when it comes to the positions they occupy. As for the Maghreb elites and managers, they are marginalized and OUTSIDE HOME. You can talk about concerns when you are dealing with a country that is well-run by real competent politicians. Maghreb countries are structures that resemble to BANANA republics, some sort of apes planets with monkeys’ money, and peoples with no timeless references who live day to day… And you want to discuss with these people saving the planet, and the environment, etc. This is mere mumbo jumbo that won’t be understood in the Maghreb. State heads want the ecosystems of women, good food, palaces, embezzlement, and secret services to suppress the weak. Now that is a nice course on ecosystems.

Protecting ecosystems is a complex undertaking that requires, in particular, institutions that are able to ensure an effective management of natural resources.

While I am deeply concerned about this topic, I would love to start my comment – which is my first contribution to this hopefully useful forum – with a series of questions, hoping to put economic, and maybe even environmental, concerns in their right context. Let’s be realistic, or rather clear: what can we expect from countries whose peoples are denied the most basic of rights? That they would be fairer with the environment? These, in fact, are empty agreements that are unrelated to the populations’ concerns. Maghreb peoples are disgusted of these topics that do not serve them, and which rather serve the agendas of other countries that monopolize the reins of their economies and want to impose on them the idea that the environment is a common property of mankind, and that everyone should contribute to its preservation. It is impossible for Arab citizens to understand this topic, not because of their ignorance of the risks that the environment is facing, but because they lost hope in their countries and because of the fragility of their economies. Therefore, this is a question of priorities, as we have not yet reached the level of western countries, or let’s rather say that we have not reached the the required level of maturity to be able to talk about the environment. As for our soldier leaders, with all due respect, appreciation, and sorrow, they are among the most eminent athletes of pole vault for their amazing ability to jump over fundamental political, social and economic issues and pass them by carelessly, while being doped by their superiors who are dragging their peoples into an unenviable position.

My comment might sound pessimistic, but what I see in the world confirms my point of view. The current scientific developments are the reason behind what the environment is enduring. The constant quest for the best and greed make humans neglect the environment and tend to deplete all nature resources irrationally.
