The "first world environmentalists" want the rest of the world to serve as their own private human zoo : The two-legs (they don't see them as fully human) living 'out there' are to be kept in colorful, traditional squalor so the first worlders wealthy enough to travel around the world can go marvel at a way of life so different from Duluth. Ever hear one of those people talking about how sad it is that the whole world "looks like one giant Des Moines"?

Exaclty. They are the true heirs to the bigotted colonialists of old, with their idea of the "white man's burden". They have such contempt for their own society that they find the sqalid, electricity-less conditions of the Third World quaint, and think that they are acting in the best interests of the poor, dumb natives by trying to keep them in conditions they would find anacceptable for themselves.
