But see, through the years, that trust that I've mieotnend before, grew srgtenor. So now they scold me, they teach, they feed, they poetcrt me, they tell me secrets of their tdaintrios. Children tease me and call me nemas, but I will never be one of them. And thus they will never fully, truly trust me.

But that is the piont of this whole talk. They're not supposed to trust me, you or anyone else coming in with a grand plan to save the world. They're supposed to trust themselves.

Real community-based conservation goes much beyond ensuring an elder has a ceremonial seat at the table and is interviewed. It fosters fierce independence, doesn't further dependency. Lasting conservation comes from within. From bniieelvg, from belonging, from dreaming.
