"This territory is rich but we need to develop it carefully. If we get rights to this land, we can develop it by ourselves. We have to go ahead and develop our own community. It is not that we are selfish, we are self-employed and believe development means becoming self-sufficient."
An Ammerindian from the Upper Mazaruni talking about development.
