what we don't get anything for our future from the park. the conservationist wants to know more about the community's needs. we need a better infrastructure like clean water and electricity. even if the dangers of environmental destruction are known there are simply more pressing concerns for people here problems that need solutions today the benefits of keeping forests intact may take decades to be felt there was a lot of convincing to be done behind. the park people frank for people conservation people and we really have to find solutions. for the people and for the forest but it's very clear. the mood remains tense even though such discussions are vital because everyone here depends on a functioning ecosystem a system that provides clean water and keeps the soil in the fields. coast of shank now wants to get a report on the situation in the lowlands egos to visit the head of the bonnet mountain conservation project. nettles immediately explains how critical the situation is in the lowlands he has video from the border area between southe
