And we’re off… Just to whet our appetites in the ‘promises, back-sliders and excuses stakes’ 🙂
Funny how they might think about ending deforestation by 2030? Probably none left by then. Why not end it now?

There is a fresh article just about this topic on Sky News with Sir David Attenborough.
Thanks Janos. Attenborough was also interviewed a couple of days ago by one of the British newspapers (not sure which): he talked about ‘you can’t have infinity in a finite world’. Also he spoke of how modern generations have a very different (i.e. short) attention span (the MTV generation) ~ he wasn’t rude or anything ~ just made the point that he was too old to change, so his style of film-making concentrated on attention to detail and factual evidence 🙂
Before I came home for Christmas holiday I have heard from one of my friends that Attenborough had joined to the populationmatters.org as a patron a while ago.
Maybe? He was certainly talking about human population and not being enough resources to sustain us. Exciting times actually 🙂 Mike
Bit more on the same topic Janos. David Attenborough is on the Board of Population Matters. One of their approaches is to educate and help women find birth control as they wish, but also about shifting paradigms so that women have sovereignty over their own bodies. 🙂
