"We consider species to be like a brick in the foundation of a building. You can probably lose one or two or a dozen bricks and still have a standing house. But by the time you've lost 20 per cent of species, you're going to destabilize the entire structure. That's the way ecosystems work."
- Donald Falk

"When we protect the places where the processes of life can flourish, we strengthen not only the future of medicine, agriculture and industry, but also the essential conditions for peace and prosperity." ~ Harrison Ford "Our health relies entirely on the vitality of our fellow species on Earth." ~ Harrison Ford

As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness. -- Richard Gere

"We cannot win this battle to save species and environments without forging an emotional bond between ourselves and nature as well - for we will not fight to save what we do not love."
~ Stephen Jay Gould

"For if one link in nature's chain might be lost, another might be lost, until the whole of things will vanish by piecemeal." ~ Thomas Jefferson

"What an extraordinary time to be alive. We’re the first people on our planet to have real choice: we can continue killing each other, wiping out other species, spoiling our nest. Yet on every continent a revolution in human dignity is emerging. It is re-knitting community and our ties to the earth. So we do have a choice. We can choose death; or we can choose life." -- Frances Moore Lappe

"In the area of species protection, we should concern ourselves with what is right as opposed to what might be easier, or popular in the short term." ~ Richard Leakey "It's the next annihilation of vast numbers of species. It is happening now, and we, the human race, are its cause" ~ Richard Leakey

Civilization has ceased to be that delicate flower which was preserved and painstakingly cultivated in one or two sheltered areas of a soil rich in wild species ... Mankind has opted for monoculture; it is in the process of creating a mass civilization, as beetroot is grown in the mass. Henceforth, man's daily bill of fare will consist only of this one item.
-- Claude Levi-Strauss

Yet, despite our many advances, our environment is still threatened by a range of problems, including global climate change, energy dependence on unsustainable fossil fuels, and loss of biodiversity.
-- Dan Lipinski

"Natural species are the library from which genetic engineers can work."
- Thomas E. Lovejoy
