Hundreds and thousands of young people around the world can break through and can make this a better world for all living things. Once young people know the problems and are empowered to act, they have great power to impact the world.

You can't do everything. You can't do health and forestry and agriculture. You've got to focus and do one or the other.

We are unique. Chimpanzees are unique. Dogs are unique. But we humans are just not as different as we used to think.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

The voice of the natural world would be, "Could you please give us space and leave us alone to get along with our own lives and our own ways, because we actually know much better how to do it then when you start interfering."

I still think we are smart enough to not destroy planet Earth, our only home.

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.
