This is one of the most fucked up stories I have ever heard of, and unfortunately not at all rare.

These small scale farmers get the worst land, manage it ecologically partially due to their poverty, which then makes it a target from elite spreadsheet brained "environmentalists" who snatch it up from them if they fall behind on their payments. Unbelievably evil
And this is always the excuse of environmentalists - that they know better than people who live on the land, in the landscape. They don't care that it is literally *because* these people managed the landscape that it is so ecologically healthy.
And they act like predators, waiting for these poor people to slip up, so they can take these stewards off the landscape they've managed so well so they can "rewild" without humans. ARGH this makes me so mad
