If they had solid property rights in the third world, no one would cut their own trees unless it made sense. The fault is with collectivism.

"Solid property rights" would mean you had the right to cut your own trees, and to shoot anybody coming on your land to take them without your OK.

N.C. Church Fined $4,000 for Excessive Tree Pruning

A local church in Charlotte, North Carolina, learned the hard way that arborilogical endeavors can be expensive after receiving an excessive fine for improperly pruning its trees. The city of Charlotte fined the Albemarle Road Presbyterian Church $100 per branch cut for excessive pruning, amounting to a total violation of $4,000.

“I just couldn’t believe it when I heard it,” remarked Eddie Sales, whom the church hires to trim the trees on the property surrounding its building. “We trim our trees back every three years all over our property, and this is the first time we have been fined.”

Fox News reported, “The fine will be dropped if the church replaces each of the improperly pruned trees, said Tom Johnson, senior urban forester for [the] city of Charlotte Land Development Division.”
