"Perhaps the most convincing argument for conservation is that we simply don't know enough about our world to allow its careless destruction. Apart from all the philosophical debate about the dignity of animals, can we be sure that we will not some day miss them? Isn't the mystery of being alive enough of a riddle? And doesn't that go for the lives of all of us on the planet: mammals, reptiles, birds, and the whole crawling, fluttering, buzzing, sliding and striding lot of us?"
