"But love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need." - Edward Abbey
"We cannot win this battle to save species and environments without forging an emotional bond between ourselves and nature as well - for we will not fight to save what we do not love." - Stephen Jay Gould
Filmmaking is the best way to open hearts and minds to the importance and science of conservation.
