“An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.” “I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.” “The world is full of wonders, but they become more wonderful, not less wonderful when science looks at them.”
“It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.”
“Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps we should control the population to ensure the survival of our environment.”
“No one will protect what they don’t care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced.”
“The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.”
