“I suddenly felt, well, terribly old as I watched a mudskipper hopping along with what now seemed to me like a wonderful sense of hopeless, boundless naïve optimism. I hoped that if its descendant was sitting here on this beach in 350 million years' time with a camera around its neck, it would feel that the journey had been worth it. I hoped that it might have a clearer understanding of itself in relation to the world it lived in. I hoped that it wouldn't be reduced to turning other creatures into horror circus shows in order to try and ensure them their survival. I hoped that if someone tried to feed the remote descendant of a goat to the remote descendant of a dragon for the sake of a little more than a shudder of entertainment, that it would feel it was wrong.
I hoped it wouldn't be too chicken to say so.”

“There's an inevitable entropy in people - a wildness inside us - that tugs at the threadwork of everything we do. Even a job that looks so idealistic and decent can get pocked with misunderstandings, egos, and competition. But that's what every human enterprise is like. That's what every ecosystem is like. To call it unfair is a cop-out. It's the natural order that our species fights to transcend.”

“Why shouldn’t we be sentimental about a river? If you think of a river as a sewer, you’ll treat it as a sewer, then it will become a sewer. Perhaps if you care for a river instead, the river will in turn care for you.”

“If a person can gaze upon a chimpanzee in a suit without recognizing it as mockery in 99% of cases, we confront an individual who has lost themselves and is predisposed to cruel actions against others—a tragic reflection of humanity's capacity for blindness and indifference.”

“You did this to us," Albin was saying,
Eithnie managed to shake her head. No. It wasn't me.
But she found it hard to argue. People were poisoning the water, the air. She'd always known that the forest she loved was slowly dying, if not in her lifetime, then in the next. Wildlife and their habitats were disappearing at an alarming rate, taking with them the spirits of the land as well.”

“Of all the species in this chapter, the lynx is the one which could be introduced most easily. It would contribute markedly to ecosystem functions by hunting and disturbing roe deer, as well as acting as a potential apex predator on middle-guild mammal predators such as fox, badger and marten, which are now very common. It would also restore an iconic and charismatic large cat, the size of a small labrador dog, to its former Scottish range, which could bring real ecotourism benefits. The proposal has been talked about since the early 1990s - over the years, the feasibility research on the species has been of the highest standard - and it's a disgrace to UK wildlife conservation that the species is still absent.”
