Hence the above question: All very well to say that SOMEBODY should do it, but when will we, as individuals, stand up and make ourselves that somebody?
This is in total accordance with the age-old dictum, by the way, that if you want something done, you should better do it yourself.
Anyways, it is all very well to say (do) something, but all is not very well, as a matter of fact, to just say (do) it. That is the basic message to convey with this expression – “all very well, but (not enough)”.
Here are more media examples:
1. Tinyiko Chauke, 43, is no stranger in the battle to protect Zimbabwe’s wildlife population. A game ranger for 18 years, he has arrested poachers and rescued wounded animals from snares, a risk he has learnt to live with.
He has witnessed rhinos multiply in great numbers, but in the past three years, poaching has spiraled out of control. Carcasses, de-horned and peppered with bullets, have become a common sight.
In his first encounter with a heavily armed gang in a rhino sanctuary in Masvingo Province in 2008, he and his colleagues survived a ferocious exchange of gunfire. Ever since, Chauke believes the worst fears of conservationists are about to be realized - part of Africa’s famous Big Five animals is in danger of extinction.
Francis Nhema, Zimbabwe’s environment minister, says his department is under-equipped to properly carry out its duties, and has described poaching in the country as “the wanton destruction of wildlife.”
