There's no country in the world that's more devastated from natural resources than Afghanistan.

My father being an outdoors person, he used to take us on quite a few adventures thorugh the wild areas down there, introducing us to alligators and rattlesnakes and all the trees and plants.

My father was a soil scientist with the Geological Survey.

I had travelled pretty widely around the world even before then, so I knew where to go to film wildlife.

I don't think we're going to save anything if we go around talking about saving plants and animals only; we've got to translate that into what's in it for us.

The biggest challenge is how to affect public attitudes and make people care.

The quicker we humans learn that saving open space and wildlife is critical to our welfare and quality of life, maybe we'll start thinking of doing something about it.
