The Unseen Cost Of Losing Forests, Coral Reefs, Mangroves, Cleans Rivers And Waters

                                          In a certain overpopulated country, one of many, virtually every river and fresh body of water is badly polluted and contaminated.  The air quality in urban areas is hazardous to human health. Fish stock are declining, jeopardizing the daily dietary needs of millions. In the eyes of economists, the economy is expanding, which completely ignores the harsh reality for the majority of the population, and the severe loss of wealth that results from environmental degradation. Just because some so called economists and financial wizards do not consider the cost of losing forests, wildlife, mangroves, coral reefs, cleans rivers, streams and lakes, along with clean coastal regions and oceans, does not mean these things do not have value.
