Mohammed Valli Moosa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohammed Valli Moosa (born February 8, 1957 in Johannesburg) took office as the Environment and Tourism Minister of South Africa in 1999. He has worked to raise the awareness of the problem of litter, jokingly naming plastic shopping bags the "national flower" and pushing to introduce a minimum legal thickness of 30 micrometres to increase their cost, reusability, and recyclability. He was elected President of IUCN — the World Conservation Union at the 3rd World Conservation Congress in Bangkok in November 2004.
