The outcome of Nagoya about the importance of biodiversity stands in stark contrast to the likely outcome of the upcoming meeting on climate change in Cancun, Mexico about to begin. World resources capable of fighting starvation and mitigating effects from over release of greenhouse gasses are best represented in biological resources and efforts of those closest to the land who want to protect it from what amounts to unscrupulous corporate exploitations. Malaysia and Sarawak should be proud of brave souls manning the barricades and trying to get radio services installed to inform the public of the need to stand together and stop bad business practices which run over the rights of people and the environment.
