You can find that in pretty much any underdeveloped area in the world. Not sure what exactly is the socio-psychological explanation for that, but poor societies usually just don't have interest/time/energy to take care about nature or even their surroundings when they have to work hard to survive.

The police and governments are often corrupt or non functional so effectively enforcing anything like litter laws is almost a nonsensical concept. A lot of these places can barely enforce laws of any kind.
