It’s quite simple, really. I have five children, and five grandchildren, and I want to die knowing that this world will still have livable, viable places for humans AND animals! I don’t want to die feeling like I’ve failed them, that WE have failed them. That to me is just unthinkable, and unbearably sad.
Birds of paradise inspired me as a child and still today. no industrial achievement is worth trading away the natural world, save the rainforests!
