“Life’s branching organisms create new niches faster than new organisms arise to live in those new niches. The biosphere explodes in diversity. Organisms “make a living” with one another: my refuse is your food. My solid surface affords a place on which you can crawl or run. Reindeer run on the permafrost. The permafrost now melts, the reindeer stagger, the Lapps lose their herds after thousands of years of a stable lifestyle. We all make our livings with one another.”
― Stuart Kauffman

“Vanwaar toch die hunkering naar vervlogen tijden? Let wel, tijden die passé zijn omdat de leefomgeving onomkeerbaar is veranderd.”

“So in my piece, I make a provocative suggestion: let's not base conservation on defining a species' native range. Instead of asking Instead of asking “Where does this species belong?” let's ask “Where can this species thrive without causing unwanted effects?”
― Emma Marris

“Er ontstaat ruimte voor spontane ontwikkeling, los van welk waardeoordeel dan ook. We laten ons verassen.”
