this unique country Part The issues for 41 economies are a little more straightforward The desire to build on undeveloped land is not 42 out of desperation or necessity, but is a result of the relentless march of progress Cheap labour and a relatively highly-skilled workforce make these countries highly competitive and there is a flood of inward investment, particularly from 43 looking to take advantage of the low wages before the cost and standard of living begin to rise It is factors such as these that are making many Asian economies extremely attractive when viewed as investment opportunities at the moment Similarly, in Africa, the relative 44 of precious metals and natural resources tends to attract a lot of 45 companies and a whole sub-industry develops around and is completely dependent on this foreign-direct investment It is understandable that countries that are the focus of this sort of attention can lose sight of the environmental implications of large-scale industrial development, and this can have devastating consequences for the natural world And it is a 46 cycle because the more industrially active a nation becomes, the greater the demand for and harvesting of natural resources For some, the environmental issues, though they can hardly be ignored, are viewed as a 47 concern Indeed, having an environmental conscience or taking environmental matters into consideration when it comes to decisions on whether or not to build rubber-tree 48 or grow biofuel crops would be quite 49 indeed For those involved in such schemes it is a pretty
