<p class="MsoNormal">Hence, I think a complete change of you four in this crucial moment in time, is a mistake and a recipe for collapse. May I suggest that you consider stepping down gradually.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Many of us have been pushing this agenda since 2008 and before, I was also at Hohhot, in fact, I drafted the initial version of IUCN´s <a href="https://www.iucn.org/sites/dev/files/import/downloads/hohhot_declaration_july_9_08.pdf">Hohhot
Declaration</a>, and I think that now, more than ever, we must stay together.<o:p></o:p></p>

the lead roles and need to have others fill these roles. It has been a long 14 years since the beginning and especially the last 7 years for us and it is time for others to take over. We all 4 will continue to be involved in various ways to support you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
