"Conservation of Nature must go hand in hand with improving the livelihoods of communities who are the cornerstone for a healthy environment. It is not only all about protecting the watershed or river banks or protecting the forest, community should see clearly the benefits from sustainable environmental management through supporting their source of livelihoods", said Dr Vincent Biruta, the Ministry of Natural Resources in Rwanda during the celebration of World Environment Day held in Gakenke District in Rwanda.
