"An important biological species is endangered due to the accelerated and progressive destruction of its natural living conditions: man".
"Our people should learn from every such event about the consequences of climate change and the ecologic unbalance, which are some of the many problems humanity is facing".
"Nothing is as devastating as the damage and destruction left behind by a hurricane. Hundreds of thousands of compatriots mobilize and work very hard during the passing of the hurricane and afterwards during the recovery stage. Reserves are reduced or depleted. Today, more than ever, the damages caused on food supplies are costly and significant. But this is our country; this is our rightful place in this planet, and we have to develop and defend it".
"(...) that everything that today contributes to underdevelopment and poverty is tantamount to a flagrant attack on the ecology".
