I understand the importance of using our leadership in the United States to assist other countries in developing and maintain successful environmental programs. I personally have led efforts to protect whales from commercial hunting and to protect African elephants from the deadly effect of the international ivory trade. I have also been in the forefront in bringing greater awareness to the linkages between refugees. world hunger and national security to environmental degradation. In addition. if we do not assist in the survival of indigenous and tribal people. their wealth of traditional knowledge and their important habitats will no longer be available for the rest of mankind. Earth Day is a successful incentive for ongoing environmental education. action. and change.
