This explains why nobody is interested in a cooperative action to manage it. Information is seen both by the developers or their opponents, as a cost without benefits other than an authorization to do something or an order not to do it. Decisions of major importance to residents in areas under development and also likely to affect many other people and forms of life, are made strictly on economic and financial criteria. They are therefore based on the minimum data affordable on natural conditions. Next to no information is assembled on the human factors.
Chance is looked at very superficially.
There is no organized attempt to assess jointly the risks and opportunities to all parties involved or affected. Most possible side effects of the decisions are ignored or examined only when this is unavoidable. Then, it is done in a defensive manner, not always honest. The people whose lives will be transformed by the projects are seldom consulted. They do not participate in development planning or management of their fate.
