Preventing them from fucking it up for pennies. A planet is worth more than whatever they can get from cutting down those trees. I believe in property rights, but fuck property rights when externalities are so huge that they can put the whole world in a dire situation. Property and sovereignty are a man-made concept, they can be undone as quickly as they were done. What matters is that the planet lives.

But wouldn't it be less destructive to simply pay Brazil a large amount of money for that?
A war would probably just damage the forest anyway.
