* See, for example, her cable which was read out on 5 June 1977 in Reykjavik, Iceland, at the opening of our Second International Conference on Environmental Future, which started: ‘Deeply regret unable attend Conference good wishes for success. It is wrongly propagated that there is a conflict between progress and protection of the environment. Progress cannot be equated with immediate profit but with developmental activities which raise standard of living, relieve drudgery, bring beauty into daily life. Progress and healthy survival are dependent on our ability to conserve the environment and preserve the balance of nature…’—Indira Gandhi; also her paper ‘A Politician's Views on Why We are Not Saving Our World’, which we hope to publish in due course.
