I will be shocked if they can raise the required amount.

Shame that this property will probably be bulldozed and exploited like every other natural resource on this planet.

To downvoters, is it because I'm right, or because you don't like the consequences?

I doubt anyone would bulldoze the area. It doesn’t have all that much commercial value as an empty field. The most likely outcome if they don’t manage to raise the 15m is that the property stays as it is, and the owners hold out to get more money later, while preserving the trees to keep up its property value.
