No matter who or where we are, or what our capabilities, we are called to do the best we can.

I know there is pain when sawmills close and people lose jobs, but we have to make a choice. We need water and we need these forests.

What I am trying to say is that they need to learn to rely on themselves and to learn from other people, and when you learn something from other people, then you keep moving onward for yourself.

We see that the environment is something to exploit, because we see the environment in terms of minerals for example, or forests, or even raw materials that we produce on our land, or even land itself. We see it in terms of what we can exploit rather than the medium in which all of these activities have to take place.

The developed world should be willing to help [Africa] and support her and make this energy affordable.

We tend to put the environment last because we think the first thing we have to do is eliminate poverty and send children to school and provide health.

I am working to make sure we don't only protect the environment, we also improve governance.
