Quotes & Wishes collections Quotes and wishes: «Biological Diversity (biodiversity)»
All it needs is to be left aloneBiodiversity can’t be maintained by protecting a few species in a zoo, or by preserving greenbelts or national parks. To function properly, nature needs more room than that. It can maintain itself, however, without human expense, without zookeepers, park rangers, foresters or gene banks. All it needs is to be left alone.
