Humans are destroying this planet and it's going to get worse.

I just lost a chess game against a very strong chessplayer who lives in Harare, Zimbabwe. I looked it up. It's a very nice place.

Zimbabwe is beautiful but it used to be much better.

Environmental issues

Large parts of Zimbabwe were once covered by forests with abundant wildlife. Deforestation and poaching has reduced the amount of wildlife. Woodland degradation and deforestation, due to population growth, urban expansion and lack of fuel, are major concerns and have led to erosion and land degradation which diminish the amount of fertile soil. Local farmers have also been criticized by environmentalists for burning off vegetation to heat their tobacco barns.
