As they say ignorance of the law doesn't exempt from liability and all people who are unaffected by the nature are guilty of it. If everyone has thought of this problem, then the situation would be changed radically.
Yes, whatever project that will launch in the market and the people wont stop abusing the nature, the problem wont stop. I think the best solution is punished all individuals that has liabilities in the destroying the environment a concrete law that will protect environment from abused and foolish individuals.
