The sterile and expensive excitement of a handful of engineers and forestry experts will accomplish nothing!

This struggle to defend the trees and the forest is above all a struggle against imperialism. Imperialism is the pyromaniac setting fire to our forests and savannah.  —Thomas Sankara, Save Our Trees, Our Environment, Our Lives Sankara was THE PERFECT MAN!! He was decades in advance on his time.
