I would say that that challenge fighting poaching and the trafficking of ivory was easy, compared to the kind of challenges we re facing now. 0ur enemies now are very difficult people to wrap your hands around. they are people producing food. how do you call that person an enemy? you can t commit a person to jail, right? so the challenge is so much more difficult. and that s why it s so much more important that we actually win hearts and minds about nature, but we also address things from the highest level. the land use strategy of my country is not aligned to the conservation strategy and that s why we re seeing megafarms in conservation. ah, well, but what you re saying is so interesting because ijust wonder if in any way you regret the degree to which you have held out the sort of hand of friendship and alliance to the political leadership in your country? you know, kenyans, more than anybody else will remember that you were friendly with the president s wife as you launched thi

Last week (Thursday, February 25), the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine revealed ‘Project Woodland’ – a new strategy to address the issues in the forestry sector.
The initiative comes on the back of a report by Jo O’Hara, a private consultant who was formally a British forestry commissioner; the chief forester for Scotland; and the chief executive of Scottish Forestry.
Her report was commissioned by the department in the hope that it would suggest ways to implement the recommendations of an earlier report – the Mackinnon Report – into the various challenges the sector faces.
In her report (which was also published last week), O’Hara proposed that the Mackinnon recommendations be divided into four ‘workstreams’, each tackling a different area.
The Knoxville City Council approved entering into a $5,000 retainer contract with 571 Polson Developments at its meeting Monday evening. The purpose is to receive consulting assistance and advice as redevelopment work continues at the VA campus. Interim City Manager Heather Ussery says that they will continue working with Glenn Lyons, who has been the primary consultant for the project since the start.
“He’s started negotiations with General Services Administration, and produced the Land Use Strategy for the VA campus. He’s been highly involved through the whole process. As we get to the stages where we demolish the buildings, we’re working on a 28E agreement with the county, and establishing our roles going forward in planning and developing the property. We think it’s beneficial to have Glenn continue to work with the city on our behalf.”
