The People Behind the Projects - Interview with Richard Aishton - We do exactly what we say

 

The forest is not just about wood-cutting. It harbours animals, biodiversity, water; it prevents erosion. The EU-funded Forest Law Enforcement and Governance (ENA–FLEG) project is trying to make people realize and encourage them to develop policy that sustains this precious resource. It's a long road, says Richard Aishton, IUCN ENPI-FLEG Programme Coordinator, and we know we will not achieve it in our lifetimes but it's important to start out and move towards that goal.
