Lastly, I have to mention that we have huge forests in this country, but again, it is less than the 10 per cent that we envisage as a country. There is one thing that has been happening in our forests, particularly where I come from. Harvesting of mature trees has been done without any regard to the locals. For the people around forests, as far as we want to ask them to protect and take care of the forests because they are catchment areas, we must again sensitise them to feel the benefits of having the forests around them. It will be good to go back to communities around water catchment areas and make sure that they also feel part and parcel of the forests. They should benefit out of these huge resources. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with all these remarks, I beg to support the passing of this Sessional Paper. Thank you."
