Greed and envy is the dominant motivator of these people. Both for themselves, for their family, clan, tribe, colour.

And they are too ignorant to admit they destroy what they seek and replace it with nothing

Replacing viable commercial farms and business with subsistence maize plots and forest denuded lands sounds very "worthwhile" for long term prosperity to me.
