People who resist the immediate short term objectives of getting rich as hidden under the banner of developoment. our wild coast will only be protected when we stand and say no, when our people are given enough information about the value of our landscapes & know its impotance to their lives. It is so unfortunate that they constitute the forgotten generation. They are forgotten because they do not benefit from the tourism within their regions, outside tourism companies come to steal from them, their traditional production is still fragmented and based on individual selling which is exploitative in a way. Young boys help exploiters in cupturing of our rare speci not knowing, in a bid for cheap money. I am writing this comment not to mourn but to say if we are good environmental watch dogs lets consider an emergecy plan to work on information decemination to our people along the wild coast. Guys it is getting late and I must note; lot of unkown illegal activities are going unoticed in our wild coasts.
