Quote of the Month
"Conservation is sometimes perceived as stopping everything cold, as
holding whooping cranes in higher esteem than people. It is up to
science to spread the understanding that the choice is not between
wild places or people, it is between a rich or an impoverished
existence for man."
-- Thomas Lovejoy
