 "We cannot accept that overall national sentiment is anti-environmental. The public, especially young people, believe this is increasingly important," Cooper said.

"We're seeing some setbacks in different parts of the world, but a lot of that is due to political groups trying to find wedge issues to give them a slight edge in the next election," he said. Ta. ``People make good decisions when they are allowed to express their views.''

He spoke at the recent National Conference on Biodiversity in the United Kingdom and in the Amazon. It cited a vote in Ecuador against continued oil and gas exploration in the rainforest as a trigger. There, ordinary people are demanding stronger environmental protection.

“The people are actually ahead of the government. “We must not be fooled into thinking that the entire population is resisting,” he said.

Mr Cooper acknowledged that environmental policies could have short-term costs, but said the government should work with communities that feel threatened to find a way forward. .

“(Resistance movements) are partly led by politicians who are reaching out to their support bases and... These are interest groups that are doing everything in their power to address some of the issues that exist.'' ``To deny things like diversity,'' Cooper added.
