“We who care, we who understand, must use every means at our disposal to fight back. We shall lose some of the battles--but we must not give up. And we have a powerful ally, for nature, ever resilient and resourceful, will, given time, clothe a devastated landscape with green growing things so that it becomes a place where animals can once again thrive.”

Jane Goodall, Seeds of Hope, 2014
