One of my colleagues who was at this meeting a decade ago in South Africa Commented:
"The plenum of the World Parks Congress in 2003 in Durban had several thousand delegates pushing, shouting, and agitating—as park people do---until the hall went silent and the spot light fell upon President Mandela.
The electricity in that chamber would set your hair on end. To hear him speak of peace, justice, the end of apartheid, all these things one would expect, but instead to hear him say that the highest goal of mankind should be to preserve nature was, coming from this man, nothing short of transformative."
