I believe that we have more capability than any other creature to control our biological inheritance - and we do so most of the time.

My favorite animals are dogs.

There would be very little point in my exhausting myself and other conservationists themselves in trying to protect animals and habitats if we weren't at the same time raising young people to be better stewards.

When you meet these outstanding leaders who have been through a programme that empowers them to take positive action, to make things better for people, for animals and for the environment - when you watch them interact and they start brainstorming, you realise you can relax, because they have got it right. They understand that there's more to this life than just money.

The greatest danger to our future is apathy.

Certainly it's very often true that women tend to be a bit quieter and more prepared to sit there and let the animal tell you things.

We're the ones who can make a difference. If we lead lives where we consciously leave the lightest possible ecological footprints, if we buy the things that are ethical for us to buy and don't buy the things that are not, we can change the world overnight.
