Quotes

The species' range is now severely circumscribed, says WWF in Jakarta. Of nine populations left in Sumatra, only seven are thought viable. "The fate of Sumatran orangutans is inextricably linked to the island's fast-disappearing forests. If we want to save the Sumatran orangutan we have to save their forest home" said Barney Long, WWF's Asian species expert
"If you think you’re going to go into an African country and do as you please to make some quick money, it now turns out you’re in over your head." -- Anuradha Mittal of the Oakland Institute
...The UK is committed to increasing renewables in our domestic energy mix. "Ruth Davis of Greenpeace described the UK plan as "common sense" but added: "This makes Government opposition to a binding renewables target even more perverse. Not for the first time, the irrational prejudices of the Tory right seem to have trumped the interests of working people in Britain.""
...We are now convinced that the long term benefits will be greater," said Aida Greenbury, APP's sustainability director. "Yes. We got it wrong. We could not have done worse."
