Attributed conclusion
The Guardian updated the public record of this item. EcoAlaxy Finance is comparing source excerpts only — not deciding which version is true. Earlier they reported: “Wars and economic pressures can make nature seem like a ‘nice-to-have’. But it is a critical asset, and Cop17 must deliver real action When I was five, property developers came to cut down the woods behind my home in La Tuque, Quebec.” Later they reported: “I know there is always a reason to stall, but ministers at Cop17 must honour that pledge When I was five, property developers came to cut down the woods behind my home in La Tuque, Quebec. I thought about how important nature is for our health, our food security and our econ…” Open the original links in the timeline. The claim still belongs to the outlet.
