The challenge is that we live in a time where there's a lot of crap on television.

What drives me is that moment of discovery. I love the unknown.

I'm a biologist. At my core, I'm a naturalist.

I'm really worried about what the world is going to be like when my daughters are young women, [when] they are young leaders or mothers or businesspeople - whatever they're going to be. I'm afraid they're going to have a less healthy and less biologically rich planet.

Today, I’m a conservationist because I believe that my species doesn’t have the right or option to determine the fate of other species, even ones that inspire fear in us.

We live in a time where we have more extinction happening on our planet than since the dinosaurs were wiped out 50 million years ago.

It's the best - combining the mediums of television, documentary, and books, to give you this transmedia experience for kids, for families, and for teachers.
