Dude... The VAST VAST VAST VAST VAST majority of indigenous aren't out there "protecting lands", and have no more connection to nature then you or I.

Nice casual racism though!

And that other 90% of humanity is working to industrialize to get where we are. It's a massive issue that as far as I'm aware we have no solution to.

Aborigines literally burned down all the trees and created a massive island desert lol this is retarded

Do you have a source? I think this is possibly a misunderstanding. Australia's aboriginals did controlled burns, but Australia's desert predates humans (from my research).
