At the end of the century, humans will look back at our impact on the planet and World War II will be a footnote compared to us presiding over the largest loss of biodiversity since a meteor hit the planet sixty-five million years ago.

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.

Even if we planted a tree on every square yard available in the planet by the end of the century we would only capture at most 10 percent of the CO2 we need to reduce. This does not mean that we should not plant trees we should, for biodiversity's sake, and for our long-term future together with the other species.

Our food is safer and our diets are more diverse than ever before production methods are becoming increasingly sustainable, clean and efficient and we are constantly becoming better at protecting biodiversity.
Louise Fresco
Image
Finding mechanisms for putting carbon back into landscapes enhances biodiversity. More biodiverse ecosystems store more carbon, more securely and are more resilient to the impacts of climate change.
Will Steffen

I can't imagine anything more important than air, water, soil, energy and biodiversity. These are the things that keep us alive.

Just as the natural environment depends on biodiversity, so the human environment depends on cultural diversity, because no one civilization encompasses all the spiritual, ethical and artistic expressions of mankind.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
Uniformity is not nature's way diversity is nature's way.
Vandana Shiva
Image
We are into the opening stages of a human-caused biotic holocaust-a wholesale elimination of species-that could leave the planet impoverished for at least five million years.
Norman Myers
Image
Are we to regard the world of nature simply as a storehouse to be robbed for the immediate benefit of man?

Wisdom: It's something that you know when you see it. You can recognize it, you can experience it. I have defined wisdom as the capacity to make judgments that when looked back upon will seem to have been wise.
Jonas Salk

We need to act now. Otherwise the biodiversity that makes Australia so wonderfully unique is going to be lost to us forever.

The more complex the network is, the more complex its pattern of interconnections, the more resilient it will be.

Image
We advocate biodiversity for biodiversity's sake. It may take our extinction to set things straight.

An Armageddon is approaching at the beginning of the third millennium. But it is not the cosmic war and fiery collapse of mankind foretold in sacred scripture. It is the wreckage of the planet by an exuberantly plentiful and ingenious humanity.
