DISASTER
Hundreds of thousands of trees toppled by a severe
hurricane are a visible sign of environmental destruction
wrought by a disaster. And flooded coastal villages and
washed away beaches whose natural protective belt of
mangroves has been chopped down in pursuit of economic
interests are, in turn, a sign of the considerably greater risk
in the wake of a natural disaster where the natural
environment has been destroyed. There is an interactive link
between environmental destruction and disasters that many
examples can serve to describe. But so far, these insights
have been given too little attention by politics and science.
