To those who have always wondered how they might best serve the wider world, wildlife conservation is, at its core, one of the purest forms of giving.

People are not going to care about animal conservation unless they think that animals are worthwhile.

A lot of money could be saved if we ate urban wildlife.

Basically, I think 21st century conservation is moving toward preserving ecosystems by dealing with the needs of people.

I was so fanatical about trying to save wildlife... I was unable to accept that we couldn't solve this problem of thousands of years, of wherever humans operated, the environment deteriorated.

All over the world the wildlife that I write about is in grave danger. It is being exterminated by what we call the progress of civilization.

I think about sustainability all the time, whether it's with fish or farmers in Eastern Oregon.

I'd say that animal rights and environmental issues have always been at the forefront of my mind.

Sustainability is the key to our survival on this planet and will also determine success on all levels.

People need to look at wildlife conservation in its totality. As soon as you lose the apex predator, it has harmful consequences right down the food chain.
