“The essential role <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> environment is still marginal in<br />

discussions about poverty. While we continue to debate<br />

<strong>the</strong>se initiatives, environmental degradation, including<br />

<strong>the</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> biodiversity <strong>and</strong> topsoil, accelerates, causing<br />

development efforts to falter.”<br />
