Our natural birdlife is worth more than any money that could come from selling oil to the americans. We must stop allowing projects which kill our forests and bird and other life in and dependent on it. A few get rich schemes made by corrupt , ignorant, greedy (or all of the former) or even well-meaning people must not destroy our most precious natural resource--life, the environment, birds, mammals, fish, etc.....let the americans find their own way and let us find a better way. Including a better way to employ ourselves in ecofriendly and people friendly ways like we know we should after all it is the New Millenium and we should be smarter and more ethical by now--eh?
