Experts from Suriname have been calling for a balance between sustainability and progress at a forum held in association with Dubai Cares and RewirEd at Expo 2020 Dubai, ending a week of Climate and Biodiversity talks.
The panel included Monique Pool, a wildlife conservationist and CNN hero. Known as the Sloth Lady of Suriname, Monique rescues, rehabilitates and releases sloths, anteaters and armadillos.
Monique revealed she has a specific aim for taking part at Expo 2020 Dubai: “I hope to find investment in speciality honey, produced in Suriname’s forests, so we can protect a variety of exceptional species.”
