David Allison>> Day 10 of Doha, and both the process and the substance is really disappointing.
The power of money to influence even this convention that's supposed to be all about
protections of trade in the environment keeps getting beat up by large sums of money and
the kind of industrial lobbying that you see often in Washington. If CITES is ever going
to be successful again, the people who care about these endangered and protected species,
and who believe that trade really can be used for conservation are all going to have to
come together to demonstrate that we can make a difference. We're going to look at day 11
and see if a lot of pressure from a very small group can still make a difference in the environment.
