The only way is to put google employees to jail. Money will just encourage them to cut more trees.

    If all further activity/construction is stopped until the matter is resolved, that would be a much better deterrent than fines, I believe. It will take at least a year.

    It won't stop Google from building datacenters around the world, but it will stop them from ignoring local law with impunity.
