Almotamar.net - Secretary-General of the General People's Congress (GPC) Abdulqader Bajammal said in his lecture at the opening of the 4th Conference on environment and Natural Resources organised by Taiz University Monday, the topic is vital in our life, indicating his participation in the conference was out of one perspective, i.e. the nature has its ability to balance but we live the nature and make lively in the conscience of the man and we are partners in it.

Bajammal added "Now the human have defeated nature but the fear at present is to be defeated by nature because we are incapable because of what we have done in it. The talk is about the natural resources and about the environment and its resources. We are suffering problems of problems of pollution in natural, intellectual, and cultural aspects and regretfully we are experiencing polluted policy at sometimes."

He asked the universities, during carrying out research studies, to be concerned about the environment around them and the companies supporting the conference should open their factories and laboratories to researchers to be sure those factories are committed to specifications and standardizations and that they do not harm the consumer, instead of just being concerned by just offering support.

He pointed out that protection of environment is not confined to the state whose task is to establish the organisational framework but rather the government and private universities, the society and the civil establishments are also concerned with protection of the environment. The societies of consumer protection should expand their work ad to be confined to facing prices because their responsibility is the protection of the consumer. He said the education curricula have to contain subjects on environment and that the student who does not learn protection of environment while he is young he would not understand t when he is a grown up.

On his part the minister of higher education and scientific research called at the conference on the GPC, as a ruling party leading Yemen, to pay attention to scientific research and to be generous in payment and adoption of budgets for scientific research.

The three-day conference is attended by more than 140 scientists and researchers from Egypt, Algeria, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Libya.
