It means that they will also play a part with respect to human-wildlife conflict in the management of that concession area. The forest is part of the environment and we must be able to enjoy the environment. He must make sure that the forest area under his management is maintained for the conservation of biodiversity, cultural and even recreational use. It is important that we encourage the recreational use of these forests. In addition, we need to inculcate these principles very early from the time children are in primary and secondary schools. The culture of planting trees needs to be emphasized and encouraged. When the Pope was here recently, we saw him plant a tree. He said that he was told that in African culture when you plant a tree it has a huge meaning and it signifies continuity beyond generations. You may never enjoy the shade of the tree you plant today, but somebody down the line in the next generation will enjoy that shade. Today, we enjoy shade from trees that were planted by people who never enjoyed the same. Part IV makes provision for the exchange of forest areas, for example, establishment of arboreta. Many of us have enjoyed the Nairobi Arboretum; we would like to see many of them across the country. It also provides for protection of special species that may be endangered. In Kakamega, where my grandfather comes from, the Kakamega Forest is the best example of a mix of flora and fauna that the entire world comes to see. We have the highest species of birds and butterflies in the world. I can see my time is over and yet I really wanted to say a lot about this Bill. So that we can hear Hon. (Ms.) Abdalla who has really interacted with this Bill, I wish to second it. I would also like to persuade Members to support this Bill."
