The timelines are only short in our current implementation of it, in that environment. If we increase the timelines to three years, it wouldn't be enough. Five years wouldn't be enough. What is sorely needed is an ethic of respect, of sustainable development, first and foremost looking at our Convention on Biological Diversity. It's not a convention that sits alone; it's very much integral to the movement on human rights, the movement of environmental protection, the movement of sustainable development. When you move to that environment, the timelines suddenly are not going to be nearly as much of a problem as they are in the environment we're in right now.
