You are right that we see...Thanks David and Ashes!<br /><br />You are right that we see the same political dynamics of development playing out at these international negotiations.<br /><br />We hope that the resistance of African countries and small island states will remain strong and that we can help them push for a better outcome!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Chris Henschelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016229178849983829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371760113814386220.post-75565261485678026012010-10-12T12:16:31.696-07:002010-10-12T12:16:31.696-07:00Great post Chris!

Its not surprising to see that African countries and island countries are more willing to accept something that will stir up the status quo than those who are already in power. It is very sad though to hear that politicians in developed countries are still so unwilling to change their views on what sustainable logging practices are. Best of luck in Cancun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426355542495051489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371760113814386220.post-51689419962707730542010-10-12T11:45:30.761-07:002010-10-12T11:45:30.761-07:00Good luck in Cancun Chris.

I've read the blogs and it seems that once again the weakest and poorest, those with the most to lose, are destined to suffer at the hands of the richest and strongest. I spent a month in Ecuador in September and saw first hand the deforestation the people there suffered at the hands of multinationals. Not that different from the picture here in NW Ont with our own First Nations. I don't suppose government has asked the aboriginal people what they think about deforestation and climate change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298600517518975039noreply@blogger.com
