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

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.

I'm glad I'm inspiring somebody.

I am really sobered by what's happening to ecosystems around our planet and to the wildlife that is to be found there.

To be with another scientist and make a discovery and share that with a global audience, or working with bear biologists in Alaska, by helicopter - [it's] really what I've given my whole life to. And I get to do that just about every week.

The natural resources we've depended on, if the places where they exist are not stable, our own livelihood and our health is put at risk.

I am really inspired when I am in an experience, at the front lines of conservation, and I see someone - a woman, a man, a child, a person - who has given up an opportunity to have a family, an opportunity for financial riches, even an opportunity for security, [to] put their whole life on the line to protect a species.
