Levan Davitashvili: "It is hard to respond to the criticism for a good deed and a charitable act "
‘’It is hard to make a comment on the criticism for a charitable act , especially when it comes to Bera Ivanishvili's philanthropy, we all know, that the philanthropy of Bidzina Ivanishvili’s family is immense and immeasurable in various projects." stated
Levan Davitashvili about the charitable act done by Bera Ivanishvili to save the Amazon forest.
According to the Minister, Amazon forest is the most important point of biodiversity on earth, thereby, he outlined the climate impact of the Amazon forest on the world's biodiversity and climate.
"It is a shame to criticize someone for his kind action, especially when it comes to the most pressing global issue, such as Amazon forests. I believe, that one would not be indifferent while watching this disaster. More than one million eight hundred thousand hectares of forest were burned.
This is the most important point of biodiversity, in fact, the lungs of the earth, and we all need to remember, that the earth is our home. Therefore, saving the Amazon forests is not a matter for Brazilians, but it is important for the entire population living on earth. When we talk about the climate change, its mitigation is largely related to the Amazon forests.
Therefore, the act of charity is an example on the one hand, and on the other hand we should feel proud, as we Georgians also participate and contribute to climate change mitigation, ”Levan Davitashvili said.
