Should this have happened, we hope to convey that it was not the intention at all. We also note that while the material is from workshop participants, it is entirely possible that they have gathered their knowledge from other sources that might be missed in the footnotes. The wealth of information that the participants in the workshop have shared have not all been included, and we apologize for that. Their sharing was the basis of most statements in this ADSDPP, though there were some we lifted from documents (and footnoted as such). The material written was mostly taken from numerous workshops with community people. This ADSDPP is a continuation of what was begun, and just a transition as the people of Bakun, and those that assist them, explore their horizon. No matter how far you go, the end just recedes to the distance. The end-product leaves much to be desired, that’s for sure, but to keep adding to it and refining it is much like going to the end of the horizon. Working with the people of Bakun to come up with a document such as this has been a rewarding experience, though at times one would feel insignificant amid the magnitude of what should be included in an ADSDPP.
