If you do opt for a fur bikini or loincloth costume, Shad from Shadiversity made an excellent video about the ethics and practicality here:
Of course this genre pairs nicely with JP's Terrible Writing Advice. For environmentalism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rRTHhGVUHg&t=67s&pp=ygUTdHdhIGVudmlyb21lbnRhbGlzbQ%3D%3D

The Closer Look did an excellent video on why the Green Aesop in Avatar did not work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGx8rYbRVR4&list=LL&index=1&pp=gAQBiAQB
Though controversial, Sideways made a great video on Tarzan in relation to other Disney film and musicals. So it's here as a resource. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMJ8FyQiM4Y&list=LL&index=28&t=7s&pp=gAQBiAQB
I propose using this video as a reference for writing ex-poachers with a kind of love for the forest appearing in their hearts, the questions "how long can they live like this" and "if all the trees are felled and the whole place has become dry and dusty, how can be alive?". The idea of involving the people who destroyed the forest being necessary is a good idea as it allows for redemption of past sins and a former poacher wanting to defend the forest is the way to go about that. They should have a big role in revival and conservation, when there is no forest department they should be the ones defending it, patrolling the jungle night and day, whenever they receive word of something they check the area, they should be trying to make things better and they should think about what they used to do, regret what they have done and not want the life of a poacher. They should remember if they had not killed those animals, they would be thriving.

Just letting you all know that we have a discussions page.

As environmentalism is a philosophy, ideological, social and ethical movement, I am going to argue that it is exempt from the ban on politics. Because it is so broad, it would require a ban on philosophy, ideology and ethics as well and putting a ban on ethics is something we cannot do.
