The below two quotes I strongly believe anyone with an interest in conservation should read and understand.
"You cannot begin to preserve any species of animal unless you preserve the habitat in which it dwells. Disturb or destroy that habitat and you will exterminate the species as surely as if you had shot it. So conservation means that we have to preserve forest and grassland, river and lake, even the sea itself. This is vital not only for the preservation of animal life generally, but for the future existence of man himself - a point that seems to escape many people." - Gerald Durrell
"The world is as delicate and as complicated as a spider's web. If you touch one thread you send shudders running through all the other threads. We are not just touching the web we are tearing great holes in it." - Gerald Durrell
Does anyone else have any quotes that they particularly like or live by or have you enjoyed reading these two?
