We not only need a Protocol but a tough one that protects the world s wildlife and allows Governments to stop GMOs if there is uncertainty over their safety. FOE calls on Canada to redeem its tattered environmental reputation. What we need, says Beatrice Olivastri, FOE Canada CEO, is a green knight on a charger jousting against the forces of darkness in this case, greed and stupidity seeking to protect corporate profits over human health and biodiversity. Friends of the Earth is the world s largest network of environmental groups. They campaign in over 64 countries covering all negotiation parties at the Protocol.
Campaigners are available in Montreal for comment and briefings in English, French and Spanish.
