Quotes

[edit]
  • "We can't fight the climate emergency if we cannot protect and regenerate our land."
  • "My community of 300,000 people depends on nature for livelihood. We find daily solutions in our forest and in our farmlands. But our natural resources face a lot of challenges deforestation, over-exploitation, encroachment and poor soil conservation. And these are made worse by gender inequality, cultural barriers and little or no knowledge about the goodness of nature."
  • "Nature remains our greatest ally to reach our climate mitigation targets. Planting trees is essential, but we need to raise a forest generation that will thrive and live in harmony with nature."
  • "Honey equals income, equals jobs, equals gender equality, equals conservation.”
