Michael Bassey Johnson
The greatest evil the world has ever done is killing nature after consuming from its generous hands.
Michael Bassey Johnson, These Words Pour Like Rain

Conservation is in a bad way because it has failed to see the whole of communities and the many concentric circles of wholes they contain; it has failed to see that management is a partnership based in community and not a dictatorship based in control; and, if I can go this far, it has failed because it never learned how to stop, to see, and to speak the language of the wind—it has never learned to be wild like flowers.
Daniel Firth Griffith, Wild Like Flowers
