Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the Chairlady of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, especially on part (f) which talks about international best practices. We know about the countries which have good practices and which have conserved their forests. We should emulate them by getting some knowledge from them.
