I understand that you believe the Aichi targets should really appear in the national conservation plan. Target 19 focuses on knowledge, the science base, the importance of technologies and so on. In a national conservation plan, should we ensure that scientific knowledge is not only encouraged, but developed as well? On Tuesday, a witness said that we have very little knowledge of the scope of current conservation efforts. If we know little about what is being done well, it may be difficult for us to do things right or to improve them.
