Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 June 2026. It occurred during Debate on Environmental Sustainability: UK-Indonesia Collaboration.

Environmental Sustainability: UK-Indonesia Collaboration

This is an essential point. My hon. Friend will remember the words of Pak Ja Martin, who was in charge of the project that we went to see. He said, “You can’t talk conservation to people who are hungry.” Therefore, local indigenous people, who for centuries have protected and conserved their environment, must be involved. That was a key aspect of what we went to look at.
