“We are just bypassed. As a result, the Province is unable to control and coordinate the activities funded by international donors at the site level. I was worried that this will lead to an undirected work plan or even thwart the deforestation reduction targets, emissions and sustainable commodities based green development in the region“, he complained
This activity was opened by the Minister of Environment of Mexico, Rafael Pacchiano Alaman. Cornelis appear on a talk show session guided by governor of Jalisco, Jorge Aristoteles Sandoval Díaz , continued by a finite council of the governors .
He had criticized the developed countries that seem only suppressing the developing countries such as Indonesia to protect the forest, while the support they provide is not significant. Cornelis also explained how the indigenous Dayaknese who are empirically experienced by Cornelis manage and deal with forests. Applause was in the conference hall when William Boyd (Secretary GCF) mentioned the name of Cornelis.
On the sidelines of the event, Cornelis delivered an invitation to his colleagues to visit West Kalimantan. Especially to the Governor of Ontario Canada (Katleen Wynne) and Governor of Vermont USA (Peter Schumlin)
