In Darwin's day, the cell was basically a little blob of Jell-O enclosed by a membrane. That's why Darwin didn't write about the origin of life; he wrote about the origin of species.

William Dembski

It's a white oak, which is the same species as the original Carolina oak.

Dan Henry

There are 193 species of monkeys and apes, 192 of them are covered with hair. The exception is a naked ape self-named Homo sapiens.

Desmond Morris

Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case.

John Rawls

Thicket by thicket and wetland by wetland, we were losing the Greater Golden Horseshoe's remaining wilderness and diversity of life. The greenbelt is stopping the loss of natural features and the species they host.

Jim Bradley

If we have birds bringing this in from Asia sit down on a water body, other species of birds that don't interact directly with Asia may also use that water body and pick up a virus.

Matt Robus

A professional designer can help you be hospitable with wildlife. For example, attracting butterflies or humming birds, or detracting species like deer.

Laura Donoghue

This bill is not about fixing the Endangered Species Act, it's about gutting it.

James Mcgovern

Allow substantial loss of habitat for species that depend on older forests.

Daniel Hall

All three moms are incredibly important to their species, which are either threatened or endangered. Allowing the public to choose a Zoo Mother of the Year gives us a chance to educate them about the challenges facing these species.

Tony Vecchio

PORTUGUESE, n.pl. A species of geese indigenous to Portugal. They are mostly without feathers and imperfectly edible, even when stuffed with garlic.

Ambrose Bierce

I often wondered what biologists would do if they were discovering hundreds of species every week, and the same new species all over the world at the same time. They would have the same problems that we have.

Joe Wells

We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species.

Desmond Morris

The Zoo Atlanta family is elated at the news of twin gorilla babies. We are proud to do our part to support a species that is experiencing such catastrophic decline in the wild.

Dennis Kelly

These areas are really the heart of the western Amazon. They're the most pristine, the richest in terms of the species they contain.

Meg Symington

As the forest went, so went the bird. It's an indicator species, representative of what we did to the forests. Having it return is perhaps a sign that the forests and habitat are coming back as well.

David Luneau

This denial comes from an administration that's provided protection to the fewest number of wildlife species of any administration since the Endangered Species Act was passed. We're going to sue.

Noah Greenwald

Land protected in public ownership is critical for valuable fisheries habitat, especially in the sensitive headwaters watersheds where trout and salmon live. With 25 trout and salmon species already listed as threatened or endangered, and others close to being listed, buying key watersheds and riparian areas is one of the best things we can do.

Steve Moyer

In raising the consciousness of the public to the plight of many small, wild cats, the Bengal and some other hybrids can be like a signpost pointing the way to a broad and unselfish commitment to save not only endangered species but those whose fate may also one day become inevitable.

Adrian Anderson

This is a tough problem, and there is no simple answer or smoking gun. More likely, there are multiple causes, and they may vary from species to species.

Chuck Armor

This is a victory for sound science, the killer whales, and the people of the Pacific Northwest. However, if Congress continues on its path to gut the Endangered Species Act, the best tools available to protect the killer whale will be ripped right out of the hands of the scientists and resource managers in the Pacific Northwest.

Brent Plater

This is the critical moment for the Coast Guard to act. If this generation of calves is decimated by ship collisions, the species is unquestionably doomed.

Kyla Bennett

Blue tits love them, but depending on where you are in the country, you could get all manner of species moving in.

Jeff Baker

The most gifted members of the human species are at their creative best when they cannot have their way, and must compensate for what they miss by realizing and cultivating their capacities and talents.

Eric Hoffer

It runs counter to the intent of the Endangered Species Act.

Jamie Rappaport Clark

People view gardens as artificial, but this result shows that if the right, good quality food is put out they can make a real difference to certain species.

Mike Toms

We've got enough money for maybe a month. The bottom line is that we can't afford to let these critters into the Great Lakes. They will probably have the single most devastating impact of any invasive species.

Dan Thomas

Without protection of the endangered species act we would have lost hundreds of additional species including the owls and those are all related to our quality of life.

Daniel Patterson

The problem in China is about 50-60 percent of the poultry is operated on small-scale farms in the backyard, which provides the ideal life for the virus to jump between different species of poultry.

Dr. Noureddin Mona

There are so many species that need help.

Chris Servheen

Where you used to put out a fishing line 50 years ago and catch 10 species, now you catch five species for the same amount of effort. That's a recipe for ecological collapse and disaster.

Boris Worm

They're taking all kinds of species out of the lake, which depletes the fish resources.

Chris Huff

We really have no idea what to expect in terms of numbers. I've heard stories of people catching and seeing salmon in the river while fishing for other species. It'll be a small number to start, though.

Bob Richter

Mr. Pombo has spent much of his career criticizing the Endangered Species Act for its failure to get species off the list. Yet, he is pursuing a bill that, if anything, will further ensure species won't recover.

Bob Irvin

Saying it is more important to have an opportunity to hunt a trophy animal that doesn't even belong on the island than to protect the other species in the park, to me that's what's fairly disturbing about this.

Russell Galipeau

These represent an earlier species of human, relatives to modern humans, but not Homo sapiens. There's some controversy over what this species is called. Most would call it an advanced form of Homo erectus. They looked like people and were a fairly sophisticated culture with various stone tools and lived in the same environment as humans.

Nina Jablonski

The science in the endangered species act works, and works well.

Susan Holmes

This species has been in the U.S. for 50 years, yet has not spread into Missouri despite many chances over the years to hitch rides on infested wood, like railroad ties.

Richard Houseman

You're talking about one of the most endangered mammals in the world and the most endangered species in North America . There are roughly 90 cats. Will we ever know how many for sure.

Larry Richardson

Biological evolution is too slow for the human species. Over the next few decades, it's going to be left in the dust.

Ray Kurzweil

They're unlike other species that we hunt, and we could potentially be causing more problems.

Sharon Seneczko

They can destroy the biodiversity of the natural environment. They'll form a stand and all of the other native species, all of the ground cover and the trees, are shaded out and out-competed for food and water.

Dennis Teague

We left those areas very natural in growth. We don't clip them to make them look like hedges. The garden club's goal was to show the species in a smaller setting that you could plant in your own back yard.

Margie Fitzsimons

Given the species involved and the rough terrain, this would require sophisticated hunting tactics, (and) knowledge of animal behavior, in particular migration routes and flight behavior, and group cooperation.

Daniel Adler

We're pleased with the judge's decision. The decision is a win for the island fox, and the nine plant species that are endangered because of the feral pigs.

Julie Benson

[Roberts' dissent is a] pretty big deal, ... The fact that he was willing to challenge the Endangered Species Act as a brand-new judge, when lots of his Republican colleagues went the other way, indicates that he really wanted to make a statement.

Cass R. Sunstein

The species list gets pretty long but by and large there are very few large outbreaks in terms of thousands and thousands of birds.

Mark Drew

A critical mass is developing of people who are now aware of the problems that the existing Endangered Species Act imposes on landowners and communities and understands that it's counterproductive to recovering species.

Chuck Cushman

Our species evolved in Africa 200,000 years ago. We didn't move out until 100,000 years ago, and there were several waves. The oldest evidence of species outside of Africa was in Europe about 40,000 years ago, and in Australia 50,000 years ago.

Carl Zimmer

It's not just that the small species got replaced by a larger species. The same species, the same lineage got bigger over time.

Kaustuv Roy

We've made some heroic efforts, but the Earth as a whole is in worse shape today than 30 years ago, ... There's been 30 more years of greenhouses gases, species extinctions and population growth.

Denis Hayes

Very Balinese, very Indonesian, and yet it draws on a lot of tropical influences as well. You will see certain elements of Australia and certain elements of the Caribbean, and we have created a -- a tropical frenzy, if you like. But all the species, all the plants that are here are from Bali. There is nothing that is imported.

Neil Jacobs

We're happy to provide habitat for fish and wildlife species, ... But we wanted some regulatory certainty and stability.

Tom Fox

Man needed to be upbeat to keep going. And all species need to be happy enough to reproduce.

Darrin Mcmahon

The Englishman wants to be recognized as a gentleman, or as some other suitable species of human being, the American wants to be considered a good guy.

Louis Kronenberger

The British ballads became a new kind of form in their hand. And out of them came the blues, a new kind of song of commentary and satire, a song form which, after all, has become the main musical form of the whole human species.

Alan Lomax

A species on the brink of extinction isn't going to reverse after only 30 years.

Tracy Davids

Recovering an endangered species is not easy. It takes a long time and a lot of effort. But with appropriate laws and resources we can continue to achieve success.

Doug Inkley

There are a variety of actions that are being proposed by House and Senate bills that would in essence destroy the protections represented under the Endangered Species Act and make it virtually impossible to recover species.

Betsy Loyless

Invasive species are a nice model.

Richard Shine

Biologically, it's time to remove them as an endangered species. From our standpoint, they haven't been endangered since 1999.

Jody Millar

The Endangered Species Act has been a roaring success for the grizzly bear in Yellowstone.

Jamie Rappaport Clark

We need to do something about how these live markets are treating species.

Howard Stone

Land disturbance and fragmented habitat represent the greatest threats to the majority of these birds, and the golden-cheeked warbler is no different. Places where they make their home are under development pressure for home sites, grazing, logging and mineral extraction, and that's a lot of pressure for a species that perhaps has as few as 9,600 individual birds.

Betsy Loyless

Successful cloning of an increasing number of species confirms the general impression that it would be possible to clone any mammalian species, including humans.

Ian Wilmut

The agencies' refusal to list Atlantic salmon is a case study in politically driven and illegal decision-making under the Endangered Species Act.

Michael Senatore

Reserving acreage as critical habitat just makes it more daunting to build housing that's affordable. Setting aside habitat is just the least efficient way to protect species.

Joseph Perkins

[The bill] changes the Endangered Species Act in a radical, radical way, ... It's an entitlement program for landowners who want to gut the Endangered Species Act.

Tom Udall

While the Endangered Species Act has failed miserably at saving rare plants and animals, it has excelled in making life miserable for many in the human population.

Peyton Knight

If you want to save a species, simply decide to eat it. Then it will be managed - like chickens, like turkeys, like deer, like Canadian geese.

Ted Nugent

It often takes many years on the [ESA] list before some populations even begin to rebound. These species didn't become endangered overnight, and people shouldn't expect them to recover overnight.

Peter Galvin

Vultures are one of the few bird species that are afraid of their own dead. But only when they're hung at the roost site. If you hang them anywhere else then they'll eat them.

Martin Lowney

I don't think it's surprising that we're seeing the disappearance of these native species given the changes that have occurred in the delta.

Robin Grossinger

It's a huge industry, and in the case of South Australia's Port Lincoln, whole communities ride on the back of this endangered species.

Andrew Bartlett

They're disappearing. Sure, there are some species that are already kind of marginal, but we're hurrying some along faster than others.

James Lloyd

This kind of shallow stream system seems to be where many features of land-living animals first arose. The species shows that evolution from life in water to life on land happened gradually in fish in shallow water.

Ted Daeschler

Our species are having a big impact on this planet, and there are some very big decisions that have to be made. Hopefully, we can get some answers.

Joe Waters

This study shows that just passing the buck to the states isn't likely to solve the endangered species problem. Restoring endangered species is difficult no matter who's doing it. There are no quick fixes, and weakening the Endangered Species Act certainly isn't one of them.

Ginette Hemley

We're definitely seeing species going extinct because of climate change. We're going to lose the penguins. We're going to lose the polar bears, no question. . . . I'm seeing high mountain butterflies literally being pushed off the mountains. This is happening. It is not theory. It is not people saying, 'Oh, we think it might happen.' It is happening, and it is incredibly depressing.

Camille Parmesan

Wonder is what sets us apart from other life forms. No other species wonders about the meaning of existence or the complexity of the universe or themselves.

Herbert W. Boyer

Gale Norton is one of the scariest Cabinet nominees since James Watt. We expect a fierce struggle over the fate of the Endangered Species Act.

Brock Evans

[PBO is classified as a carcinogen,] but it's not truly one in its own right, ... It inhibits the metabolism of certain types of chemicals in insects. For human and mammalian species it can help promote cancer - but only in large doses over a long period of time.

Arthur Craigmill

That's a pretty significant finding, ... It's very unique among the species.

Bob Stone

It's the first species that we've had that really forced a broad-scale re-examination of the high mountain forests.

Gary Patton

It will be very specific as to the size and species of fish and how often they can be eaten. It will be a stricter advisory for pregnant women and children.

Doug Krieger

South Florida is not big enough. Recovery of the species will require the panther population to expand to other parts of its historic range.

Paul Souza

Pornographic material seems to hold a fascination for the human species. It's a human trait. It doesn't matter if you live in a big city or a rural area - the interest in this kind of speech is the same.

Gary Edinger

Human reason has this peculiar fate that in one species of its knowledge it is burdened by questions which, as prescribed by the very nature of reason itself, it is not able to ignore, but which, as transcending all its powers, it is also not able to answer.

Immanuel Kant

Wildlife populations can act as buffers against the spread of disease as well as sources for its emergence. Through providing a better understanding of how pathogens move among species, the field of Conservation Medicine gives us the tools we need to maintain healthy ecosystems that protect people and wildlife.

Mary Pearl

The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.

Freeman Dyson

The message is not to do away with fish in your diet. What's needed is a shift away from high-mercury species to those with much lower levels. That should be easy to do for most consumers if they had the right information.

Caroline Smith Dewaal

Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone, but it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us.

George Bataille

We monitor all of our burns in the park and have been working with Los Alamos National Lab to develop some projects cross-boundary, ... Fire has been here for thousands of years and there are many species ecologically dependent on fire. They have adapted to it and are dependent on it.

Gary Kemp

Cats are one of evolution's most charismatic creatures. They can live on the highest mountains and in the hottest deserts. The problem is that if you look at the number of species they all seem to be variations on a theme.

Ross Barnett

We are trying to get people to think it's not just the rain forest and endangered species. It is not just the physical environment.

Margaret Thomas

I am concerned about it with so many endangered species right in the Santa Barbara County area.

Lois Capps

I am concerned about the air we breathe and the water we drink. If overfishing continues, if pollution continues, many of these species will disappear off the face of the earth.

Bernie Marcus

Why should humans in their unsurity decide what species are and are not important to humans? Is nature's characteristic ability to naturally select species not the most perfect decision maker we humans have access to on this issue? Just as we expect human children to respect their human elders, let us humans collectively respect our significant elder--Nature.

Ivan Urlaub

Genetically speaking, most humans really don't do much for the health of the species.

Stephen Evans

We're the only species on the planet that can't walk around the way we were created.

John Moyer

Though we all know that the survival of the species depends on producing children, up until now we haven't understood how germ cells in the developing embryos decide whether to eventually become the sperm or eggs needed later for adult reproduction. Now we know one way these other cells are talking to germ cells about sex.

Mark Van Doren

We have chosen sites and species of birds that we think are the most likely ones that contact birds over in the Russian Siberian side that have the potential to migrate and make contact with birds in North America.

Hon Ip

Degradation is a continuum, ... In virtually every ecosystem we visited, humans have colonized the landscape. Very few places are wild. The places to find wildlife are in protected areas. This is a good indicator of how deeply human species has penetrated the continent.

Michael Fay

If legislation doesn't protect habitat, how then can the government pretend that it will protect the species themselves?

Marc Johnson

Most of these species have just begun to adapt to human environments. It's a cool natural experiment.

Joel Brown

Any native species — a stand of milkweed — Porcelain-berry comes along and kills it. It's like kudzu in the South. You can't just have one plant taking over an area — period.

Beverly Smith

Love is a dirty trick played on us to achieve the continuation of the species.

W. Somerset Maugham

The presence of fish and angling demonstrates a healthy environment -our strategy outlines how we will meet new challenges such as climate change and invasive species while increasing tourism, encouraging greater participation in fishing and continuing to create a better quality of life for local communities.

Dafydd Evans

Even to this day, no native Australian animal species and only one plant species-the macadamia nut-have proved suitable for domestication. There still are no domestic kangaroos.

Jared Diamond

You might have a smaller number of animal species, perhaps one instead of two.

Dr. Janet Woodcock

Given elephants' ability to transform an entire landscape, action is needed, or the result will be the mass starvation of elephants and other species.

Rob Little

This field station has more frogs and snake species around than in all of Europe.

Stephan Wulffraat

We should be able to look at the scientific facts and say this is what it is: It's a member of the species at the earliest stage of development.

David Prentice

I'm a registered Democrat and, like a lot of my species here in Connecticut, I don't know whom I'm going to vote for in August. If I had to vote tomorrow, I'd vote for Ned Lamont, but I'd leave the polling place shaking my head, wondering what the hell happened to Joe Lieberman.

Colin Mcenroe

We were moving toward making it more of a recreational opportunity than a commercial one. Now there really aren't any shortages of alligators -- we're well past the endangered species time, so we're ready to expand.

Joy Hill

The evolution of the brain not only overshot the needs of prehistoric man, it is the only example of evolution providing a species with an organ which it does not know how to use.

Arthur Koestler

This has resulted in a huge increase in the legal and illegal trade. With certain species going for £10,000 on the black market, it can be very lucrative.

David Bowles

The pattern raises the alarm, however, that species in species-rich regions face two challenges that increase the risk of extinction: habitat destruction, which is occurring at alarming rates in the tropics, and reduced pollinator activity.

Susan Mazer

You could be getting a different species. Some are stronger than others.

Rick Dungey

If we're going to save the pygmy rabbit and many other native species that are at risk, we need to address the decline in habitat and we can't do that without the help of the Endangered Species Act.

Jon Marvel

[Not even other species are immune to the mirror's attraction.] They're now thinking that dolphins, as well as humans and higher apes, can recognize themselves in mirrors, ... One of the ways they figured this out was that dolphins like to have sex in front of mirrors. When they drift out of [eyesight] they stop the action and move back in front of the mirror.

Mark Pendergrast

A number of these specimens are the best of the species that we have ever found worldwide.

Richard Hulbert

They offer leaves to water which provides the food for insects which feed the fish we love to catch. Lastly, they keep temperatures cool so we can have trout and other cold water species live in our rivers.

Robert Tiedemann

Her loss will be felt not just here locally, but world-wide due to the critically endangered status of this species.

Tony Vecchio

We can understand, too, that natural species are chosen not because they are 'good to eat' but because they are 'good to think.'

Levi Strauss

It's getting to the point of survival for the human species on the planet.

Brian Lapointe

The hot spots studied in this paper are essentially refugee camps for many of our planet's most unique plant and animal species. If those areas are no longer habitable due to global warming then we will quite literally be destroying the last sanctuaries many of these species have left.

Lee Hannah

There are a lot of species out there we didn't get anything on. We look at it kind of as an ongoing process. We will be doing this again.

Maureen Osolnik

It's terrible to close a print voice. Print journalism is an endangered species these days. Most newspapers have a hiring freeze.

Steve Lawrence

The first bird we saw at our camp was a new species. Large mammals that have been hunted to near extinction elsewhere were here in abundance.

Bruce Beehler

The discovery of such a tiny and bizarre fish highlights how little we know about the diversity of South-east Asia. This is all the more serious because the habitat of this fish is disappearing very fast, and the fate of the species is now in doubt.

Maurice Kottelat

The Black River is normally exceptionally clear; it's great for swimming and floating. Now, beyond the east fork, below the lower reservoir, it is very muddy. It has what we call a lot of turbidity. This is a concern not only for swimmers, but also for a lot of aquatic species.

Kurt Schaefer

If there was one thing that I took away, it was paying attention to every single solitary detail, no matter how big or small. Everything you saw up on that screen was there for a reason. There was nothing wasted. Not a single color, not a single creature. Every single creature in that movie had a name, not just a species name, but a personal name.

Ahmed Best

The species have gotten limited areas to live in because of changes in climate and changes of habitat over time. And all humans have encroached upon it further. It's important to maintain that diversity of species.

Lennie Roberts

Has made it his personal goal to eviscerate the Endangered Species Act as we know it and to make it possible for development to encroach on protected habitat.

Ron Kind

With invasive pest species, we can't turn back the clock, the lakes will be altered for good. Not only do invasive species unravel the food web they also fool public perception: The lakes look cleaner because the food has been stripped out.

Cameron Davis

Even a young schoolchild recognizes that every species needs a home.

Susan Holmes

The Endangered Species Act has been a dismal failure, and in 25 years the act has yet to bring a single species off the list into recovery.

Jonathan Adler

The sexes in each species of being . . . are always true equivalents -- equals but not identical.

Antoinette Brown Blackwell

By conservative estimates, we're losing one species every 15 minutes. We don't have a really good handle on what species are out there yet, let alone what is out there on the brink of extinction.

Richard Kissel

If we are supplying the demand, then other people will carry on killing endangered species.

Andy Fisher

Not only does this bill gut the Endangered Species Act, but it creates a government giveaway program to greedy developers.

Rodger Schlickeisen

It may be irrational of me, but human beings are quite my favorite species.

Doctor Who

It doesn't matter what you do for species if you don't protect their habitat.

Jamie Rappaport Clark

Hopefully this highlights the need and desire to conserve whale species in general.

Paul Jepson

They are an important and declining species that we don't want to see die out.

Jim Ozier

That's one of the places where the Endangered Species Act really has teeth.

Kathy Fletcher

[For some,] the second wave of this hurricane will come later, ... most will recover completely. We are a very resilient species.

Thomas Insel

Generally when a property owner or developer finds either the habitat or a species on the property and they are proposing to do something, they need to contact us and advise us of it.

Al Donner

The mechanisms that make the small differences between species are the same ones that make the big differences between kingdoms.

Sean Carroll

She is a species scorned. The birds want to eat her. The horse wants to step on her.

Jordan Kerner

The Clinton administration has been handing out these exemptions, known as incidental-take permits, like there's no tomorrow. Unfortunately, there may not be a tomorrow for many of the affected species.

Daniel Hall

I don't believe we should be destroying a member of the species for simply research purposes.

David Prentice

The argument is that in most species, males will compete with each other for females, and females prefer robust males.

Ralph Catalano

As we continue to rebuild the herds out there and to bring the species back from a point where it was on the brink of extinction 120 years ago, it really requires that it end up on the dinner plate, for the ranchers to have the incentive to bring the animals back.

Dave Carter

Twenty tortoises is a small population. These [20] tortoises would not protect the survival of gopher tortoises in Florida, but protecting them would preserve the species in Hillsborough County.

Joan Berish

It just makes sense. If you've got them, why not place them in the climate most appropriate for their species?

Mike Blakely

Every one of these birds needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act. In part, it's about protecting habitat, because every bird and every animal of any kind needs a home.

Betsy Loyless

I'm wondering if we should gather up Kmart signs and put them on the endangered species list.

Louie Gohmert

We do have federally listed species that use the forest, and we need to have a plan that protects those species as well as produces revenue, and that's what we've tried to do with the plan.

Jim Young

The Endangered Species Act provided a safety net, but banning was the most important thing that helped the eagles.

Valerie Fellows

Swans fly no more than 50km a day. Looking at the way the disease has spread ­ one day it's in Italy, a day later it's in the north of Germany ­ that makes us believe that there are other bird species spreading the disease.

Albert Osterhaus

It reduces the prospects for recovering species, it weakens the scientific foundations for decision-making, and it takes taxpayer dollars away from conservation efforts.

Jamie Rappaport Clark

What we learn about wolverines from this effort will help us determine the species' status and management needs.

John Rohrer

It's not earth-shattering news, actually. It's not the first case where there has been a species in a region where a fair amount of stocking went on and the native genetics remained.

Loren Miller

Expanded fire suppression efforts may be the only way to save these species from extinction, ... The good news is that fire suppression should also benefit nearby human residents.

David Hogan

The good news is that in our waters of Wisconsin and Minnesota there is no known reproduction of any of these species yet. We're trying to keep it that way.

Jay Rendall

People have this sense that as 21st-century humans we've gotten as high as we're going to go. But we're not played out as a species. We're still evolving, and these studies are a pretty good example of that.

Greg Wray

That is the main species we'll be seeing out there, although occasionally we do see a harp seal or two.

Kathy Howard

It's a neat place to bird, with diverse habitats and lots of different species that could be sighted.

Peter Gordon

Governments, industry and people everywhere have to start reducing fossil fuel pollution as if our lives depended on it. Actually, the very survival of tens of thousands of species does depend on action to avoid dangerous climate change.

Julia Langer

By and large people had no idea that the trade this largely affected as many species and poses such a great extinction threat.

Craig Hoover

Well, they said there has been in the past a substantial number. Some of the other criteria that the committee was required to look at did in fact look at that criteria of whether the species was likely to reduce substantially in the future and they found that there wasn't evidence to support that.

Brian Mcdonald

There are a lot of species that have not been seen in the last 10 or 15 years.

Brett Albanese

However, you have to be careful that the predator doesn't become in invasive itself. These are consequences that can happen when you don't have a good knowledge of the particular species.

Mary Guinness

Therefore, predators who learned to associate either the bright colors of the less toxic or more toxic model frog species will avoid the mimic of the less toxic model frog. So, the mimic of the less toxic frog receives double the protection from predation.

Catherine Darst

Salmon are in serious trouble. Regardless of the final outcome of this case, we remain steadfastly committed to our goal of recovery of these species.

Terry Garcia

We would love to see grizzlies taken off the Endangered Species list - when they're ready, ... But that can't happen if the laws protecting grizzlies are weakened, and if they lose the few remaining scraps of land that support them.

Louisa Willcox

Landowners who earn credits would have a vested interest in increasing the value of their credits. The value can be increased by either more stringent regulation or reduced species populations that require a reduction in the number of credits available.

Peyton Knight

That calls for a lot of speculation. We're not even sure what species the shark was.

David Griffin

[The bill] will place a new emphasis on recovery and eliminates dysfunctional critical habitat provisions, ... It's about a new era in protecting species and protecting habitat at the same time we protect property owners.

Richard Pombo

Because the same MF hormone affects a broad range of crustaceans, any insecticide that mimics MF also may affect a large number of species in freshwater communities.

Derek J. Taylor

People want to point to the Endangered Species Act success stories, and there's no question about it, it has been a success. But not to the point that the bald eagle can be taken off the list in significant areas of the country.

Peter Galvin

The sanctity of human life is the most dangerous sophistry ever propagated by philosophy and it is all too well rooted. Because if it means anything it means the in-sanctity of species which are not human.

John Aspinall

It shows some things can hang in there and with the right effort you can make the future for some species more secure. This is why conservation agencies work.

Chris Hails

As a species the cheetah is still in dire straits in Iran, so it is extremely encouraging to see an apparently healthy family in their native habitat.

Peter Zahler

I think it is an act of medical malpractice to do human reproductive cloning when animal data shows how risky it is - how high the frequency is of miscarriage, birth defects and even life problems with other species. We've been unsuccessful at doing this in our closest animal relatives.

Alta Charo

The question I would ask is: Would you consider listing the species today? Most rational people say no.

Chuck Schwartz

I think it was a good thing for the frogs. If you don't impact everybody by stepping on their private property rights with critical habitat designations, people will be more willing to cooperate in protecting the (endangered species).

Ron Randall

We don't have a measure of abundance or population density of a single snake in Africa. We need that information to make well-founded decisions about how threatened species are and we don't have it... it's a big conservation need.

Graham Alexander

The corridor is a new approach for conservation work. We need to have more areas, and diversity of habitat is essential to the protection of species in general.
