One of the reasons why I say we all need to work together to save the Congo forest, because if we don't save the Congo forest, the Amazon forest and the southeast Asia forest, if those forests release the carbon they are trapping at the moment, much of what you will be doing in the North will be negated by the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.

There's a general culture in this country to cut all the trees. It makes me so angry because everyone is cutting and no one is planting.

If you make mistakes that is alright because we all make mistakes and we learn from those mistakes. You gain confidence from learning, failing and rising again.

When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace and seeds of hope.

It is wonderful when you don't have the fear, and a lot of the time I don't ... I focus on what needs to be done instead.

Education of course is a very empowering experience, so many people who went to school also managed to improve their quality of life much faster because they could get a job, they could get money, and with money you could buy things that you cannot buy if you don't have money.

There are opportunities even in the most difficult moments.
