THUMBNAIL | DESCRIPTION |
|
Vietnamese know that loss of forest cover leads to an increase in flooding.
The greedy man in this picture cares more about the price he can get to
export (xuat khau) the last tree. The cartoon is also
a subtle comment on competing government priorities, since the government
both controls all exports and protects watersheds and forest.

Here is a stump with a restaurant on top. The sign Thit Rung Bay Mon
advertises "Forest Meat - Seven Styles of Dish". This is a play on the
fashion of holding a banquet featureing a single kind of meat in a variety
of ways.
