Without the support of local people, you might as well give up because you can make all the noise you like, you can demarcate a national park, but if the people outside want to go creeping into a forest you really can't stop them. They've got to get a benefit.
Jane Goodall
Image
A sense of calm came over me. More and more often I found myself thinking, This is where I belong. This is what I came into this world to do.
