Having respect for animals makes us better humans.

Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?

To reconnect with nature is key if we want to save the planet.

We can't leave people in abject poverty, so we need to raise the standard of living for 80% of the world's people, while bringing it down considerably for the 20% who are destroying our natural resources.

My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature. And can I do that alone? No. So there is a whole army of youth that can do it. So I suppose my mission is to reach as many of those young people as I can through my own efforts.

To me, trees are living beings and they have their own sort of personalities.

I learnt from Flo how to be mother. Flo was patient, tolerant. She was supportive. She was always there. She was playful. She enjoyed having her babies, as good mothers do.
