What a country chooses to save is what a country chooses to say about itself. In the end, we conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.
Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land.
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of a least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. The most unhappy thing about conservation is that it is never permanent. Save a priceless woodland or an irreplaceable mountain today, and tomorrow it is threatened from another quarter. We can never have enough of nature. Leave it as it is.
