Quotes and wishes: «Biological Diversity (biodiversity)»
All it needs is to be left alone
Biodiversity 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.
Donella Meadows

Quotes and wishes: «Biological Diversity (biodiversity)»
Our planet is remarkably abundant
I love nature dearly and all creatures that contribute to make it what it is. I see the beauty in all expressions of life, and I see how blind so many of us still are. Our planet is remarkably abundant and there’s more than enough for us all. It is greed and shortsightedness that create the illusion of scarcity.
