“The truth is, we need forests more than we need cathedrals.”

“We have turned wild habitats into cities, farmland, and shopping malls, crowding in on the species with whom we share this planet. We have created the perfect conditions for a modern plague.”
Enric Sala, The Nature of Nature: Why We Need The Wild

“Now is the time to repair the damage we have done to our brothers and sisters throughout nature, and give them more space, so they can heal—and heal us along the way.”
Enric Sala, The Nature of Nature: Why We Need The Wild
