How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land?
The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?
We are part of the Earth, and it is part of us...
We know the white man does not understand our ways.
One portion of the land is the same to him as the next - for he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land what ever he needs.
Chief Seattle 1854
Without habitat, there is no wildlife. It's as simple as that.
Wildlife Habitat Canada
The second Caledonian Forest would not resemble the dark
regimented plantations which many of us picture when we
think of present day forests. Rather, like the first, it would
be a place of life and light, with trees of all types, ages and
sizes. It would be both a place to enjoy and a place to work.

'Norway must immediately ban the hunting of the
lynx, especially the killing of females with cubs.'
Callum Rankine WWF,the global environment network. There were about 600 animals in 1996
now there are only 300.
For the Lakota, mountains, lakes, rivers, springs, valleys and
woods were all finished beauty. Winds, rain, snow, sunshine,
day, night and change of seasons were all endlessly fascinating.
Birds, insects and animals filled the world with knowledge that
defied the comprehension of man.
Luther Standing Bear Teton Sioux
We've poisoned the air, the water, and the land. In our passion to
control nature, things have gone out of control. Progress from now on has to mean something different. We're running out of resources
and we are running out of time.
Robert Redford American actor
What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts
were gone, man would die from great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beast also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth.
Chief Seattle 1854
Mankind is part of nature and life depends on the
uninterrupted functions of natural systems.
World Charter for Nature 1982
Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.
Albert Schweitzer
The love of wilderness is more than just a hunger for what is
always beyond reach; it is an expression of loyalty to the
earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need - if only we
had the eyes to see... No, wilderness is not a luxury but a
necessity of the human spirit, as vital to our lives as water and good bread.
Edward Abbey Desert Solitaire 1968
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.
William Shakespeare
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare
feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Kahlil Gibran
