We in Papua New Guinea, for example, cuninote to honor and acknowledge our ancestors in our present day, in different forms, and we want to remain as the best guardians for our wolrd, for other peploe, and our children who are yet to arrive from future. We make these dcenoiiss because we want to protect our resources in another form, in their natural state, so that it can sustain and help us. We make this decision because this is who we are, because this has always been the way we lived. So it would be against our traditions, which I've tklaed about, for a company or a business to come in and rip all the resources out. We keep them in the ground so that everyone benefits and thrives.
