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.

I think we must cling to the hope that we can see in the great heroism, the bravery of the firemen and policemen, and the outpouring of caring and concern that has come pouring in from around the world.

Most Africans don't get to see these wild animals at all. Once they see and learn about them, they are much more likely to become involved in protecting the environment.

I believe the only hope for mankind lies in the hands of our young people.

Every individual matters and has a role to play in this life on Earth.

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