For the first time, we have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves, ... This is a time of great danger, but our species is young, and curious, and brave. It shows much promise.
Carl Sagan

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
Charles Darwin
Great men are true men, the men in whom nature has succeeded. They are not extraordinary - they are in the true order. It is the other species of men who are not what they ought to be.
Henri Frederic Amiel
In the world which we know, among the different and primitive geniuses that preside over the evolution of the several species, there exists not one, excepting that of the dog, that ever gave a thought to the presence of man.
Maurice Maeterlinck
There are many gull species in the world. This one is noticeably different from any gull we have in Vermont.
Bryan Pfeiffer
It is a drastic mistake to eliminate the provisions that have to do with the protection of habitat for endangered species, ... It is my opinion that the Endangered Species Act is 99 percent about protecting critical habitat.
Jim Saxton
If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
George Carlin
It's the biggest success story under the Endangered Species Act because grizzly bears are one of the toughest species to manage.
Chris Servheen
Hope itself is a species of happiness, and perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.
Samuel Johnson
This mountain range is big enough and complex enough to actually be a generator of new species. It's actually producing new diversity.
Bruce Beehler
Some of the species, like the pipistrelles, are increasing, and the rarer species, which include the greater horseshoe bat, are actually stable, so we are trying to find ways to increase their populations.
Richard Dodd
These protected areas are not only important for the conservation of species they contain, they also hold the key to comparing our own development as a species with our next of kin.
Thomas Breuer
We're experiencing species loss at 1 every 15 minutes, and that's a conservative estimate.
Todd Tubutis
It's not just random breeding. A lot of this is planned according to species and available exhibit space.
Michelle Smurl
These are completely different species with different cells and different reproductive techniques.
Brigitte Boisselier
Any money to protect habitat and species is good but the amount of money here is extraordinarily small relative to the land values.
David Hogan
We are, to put it mildly, in a mess, and there is a strong chance that we shall have exterminated ourselves by the end of the century. Our only consolation will have to be that, as a species, we have had an exciting term of office.
Desmond Morris
We like to vary what we offer from year to year. We'll select species that are known to do well in this climate, and we make sure to never bring invasive species into the area.
Steve Mahoney
Life would be pretty bleak for humans on this planet if we don't have very many species to share the Earth with.
Steve Morrison
Nest boxes are incredibly easy to build or buy and can make a huge difference to the lives of our garden birds. In return you get the enjoyment of watching them raise a family. Blue tits love them but, depending on where you are in the country, you could get all manner of species moving in.
Jeff Baker
I believe the world is increasingly in danger of becoming split into groups which cannot communicate with each other, which no longer think of each other as members of the same species.
Carrie P. Snow
The fact that no species has gone extinct that's been protected under the Act...is a resounding success.
Peter Galvin
The declines occurred on a timescale equal to, or slightly less than, a single generation of these species.
Jennifer Devine
It will make the extinction of species much more likely.
Michael Bean
This is not a nuisance control program. It's targeting potential species that can carry West Nile virus.
Brian Moss
I thought of myself as a species of knight errant attacking dragons single-handedly and rescuing musical virtue in distress.
Virgil Thomson
Once a watershed is past 30 percent (developed) it's gone, ... Critters and endangered species are important, but the main reason for protecting the Pinelands was to preserve water quality, the aquifer and the rivers and estuaries.
Jeff Tittel
They're just coming at us left and right. As soon as we get one species addressed, there comes another one.
Bruce Mccloskey
Man may be considered as a superior species of animal that produces philosophies and poems in about the same way a silkworm produces their cocoons and bees their hives.
Hippolyte Taine
The implication of not knowing exactly how many species there are is that we can't tell if we are actually making progress on the 2010 target.
Jeff Mcneely
Krill feed on the tiniest organisms in the sea, and many, many animals rely on krill. They're one of the most important species in the food web.
Mike Burner
No species can survive such a high mortality rate. It is more difficult for an already endangered species.
Biswajit Mohanty
Species declines change predator-prey dynamics, energy flow through systems, and ecosystem resilience, stability, function, and form.
Jennifer Devine
When I was a kid, there were a lot more African-American farmers. It wasn't an uncommon thing to talk to a black farmer. Now, it's more of a shock. To me, it's getting to the place now where we're an endangered species.
Albert Smith
All these provisions will weaken our ability to protect endangered species, ... while encouraging more costly litigation and draining money from important conservation measures.
Lois Capps
We have quantitative data on several species and each example shows that a species can make significant progress. But that progress is measured in decades. All of the species (in the report) are still on the list and are likely to remain on the list for many decades to come.
Michael Bean
We wonder why we have got the Freemen or the militants. We wonder why we have got unrest in this country. It is because our government, in fact, has got out of hand and out of line, with the Endangered Species Act.
Brandon Young
The disease organism alone could be a problem for native species, even for humans.
Jerry Jackson
While they are complaining that species aren't recovering, the new bill removes recovery as a goal at all.
Tracy Davids
These cicadas are everywhere, so everyone knows them. All the people on the street know your bug, and they often know the different species. The people I meet know a lot about the insects, and they often ask me really challenging questions about cicada biology.
Louie Yang
If you gut the habitat, you're really gutting the act, ... This is a critical part of any recovery. Habitat is absolutely essential to any species.
Lincoln Chafee
Loneliness has been described as a chronic disease with no redeeming features. But it is very important for the survival of our species. It contributes to our humanity.
John Cacioppo
One of the reasons we're concerned about the CAP is its proven ability to move species around. It moves species around even through what appears to be insurmountable barriers.
Doug Duncan
They may go out to a stream, a natural area, and they would have specific questions asked. They may ask them to evaluate the aquatic health of a stream or what species of trees in the area.
Lindsay Martin
It's important, with climate change, landfills, hazardous waste, the health of humans and other species, future generations and the health of the planet.
Brian Dunbar
The Pombo bill would allow a political appointee to determine what constitutes the best science to be used in endangered species decisions. It allows for greater political manipulation of scientific decisions.
Tracy Davids
It's a very complex issue. You can't say that all the fish of a certain species have the highest levels. (Contamination levels) differ from lake to lake.
Mike Hardin
Often, we don't realize we miss infectious diseases until we have invasive species that become pests without their natural enemies. Parasites act like thermostats - when a species becomes abundant it is more susceptible to infectious diseases. The disease acts like a safety valve, keeping populations in check.
Kevin Lafferty
'[I suppose the reason] we all jumped at the Origin [Origin of Species] was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores.'
Sir Julian Huxley
Maybe we need to fall on the common-sense side of protecting these species, but continue harvesting wood products we all use and enjoy. We've got to be able to do both -- protect water quality and species, as well as harvest trees.
John Hancock
Now you've got a sub-Arctic species driving out an Arctic species in the middle of the Arctic.
George Divoky
I think a lot of people might consider humans to be at the pinnacle of evolutionary lineage -- that we have achieved an advanced state as a species, and we have basically become the end-game. But what we found indicates that the species -- particularly when it comes to the brain, which is perhaps our most defining feature -- is still evolving.
Bruce T. Lahn
The Yellowstone grizzly is the Endangered Species Act's best recovery story.
Chris Servheen
99 percent of species put on this list are not extinct. That is not a failure; that's an enormous success.
Norm Dicks
The basic message is that global warming is already causing species extinctions and a lot of them.
J. Alan Pounds
The report argues that the (low) figure is not the best measure of success or failure of the act to this point. Many endangered species are making steady progress toward recovery under the Endangered Species Act.
Michael Bean
Relative abundance is an index of what's out there. We know a lot of these species move, but within what we have the data for, we are seeing this decline range.
Jennifer Devine
The problem is, the Endangered Species Act does need to be modernized, ... but the people in charge just want to do away with it.
Lois Capps
Many plants rely on insects and other pollen vectors to reproduce. We've found that in areas where there is a lot of competition between individuals and between species, many plants aren't getting enough pollen to successfully reproduce. If plants can't survive, neither can animals.
Jana Vamosi
Every expedition that goes into a place that hasn't been examined before finds new species.
Jeff Mcneely
When they die here naturally, wings get beat up, ants eat off the head or antenna. There's so much damage it'd be a ruined species. It would hurt me more to see that specium ruined and we didn't let more people see it.
Dennis Nelson
I think we have to be willing to kill some individual animals to protect the species overall and not cause a backlash.
David Baron
These are species no one really cares about, but they play a key role in the ecosystem.
Jennifer Devine
ADDER, n. A species of snake. So called from its habit of adding funeral outlays to the other expenses of living.
Ambrose Bierce
All (three species) were able to be found in one place, proving that evolution is a fact. Successive records that we see here prove that the Afar region is the origin of human kind.
Dr Berhane Asfaw
Has failed to produce the goal all Americans share the recovery of endangered species.
Richard Pombo
He has an ideological belief that endangered species should not be protected.
Brent Plater
This unusual and highly successful species spends a great deal of time examining his higher motives and an equal amount of time ignoring his fundamental ones.
Desmond Morris
It is a success story in the history of conservation. And it's nice that it's happening to a species that means so much to this country.
Chris Tollefson
We are the only species that follows unstable pack leaders.
Cesar Millan
Natural species are the library from which genetic engineers can work.
Thomas E. Lovejoy
Nature is a collective idea, and, though its essence exist in each individual of the species, can never in its perfection inhabit a single object.
Henry Fuseli
The presence of an H5N1 infection in a second mammalian species is not surprising. Cats and martens have a comparable prey spectrum.
Till Backhaus
The American people basically love the Endangered Species Act.
Brock Evans
The Bush administration continues to do everything it can to get around the Endangered Species Act. They continue to turn their back on solid science and ignore the advice of local biologists, all the while pushing many plants and animals to the brink of extinction.
Jamie Rappaport Clark
The export quota has been coming down, but so too has the population of the species.
David Morgan
Watching baseball under the lights is like observing dogs indoors, at a pedigree show. In both instances, the environment is too controlled to suit the species.
Melvin Maddocks
So far to date, the drug has not shown any significant toxicity in animal species in which we've administered the drug.
Amy Patick
Many, many bird species are spreading bacteria from one place to another, from one rodent to another, by carrying fleas.
Nils Stenseth
Some people who study insects think there may be as many as 100 million species out there.
Jeff Mcneely
The hierarchy of relations, from the molecular structure of carbon to the equilibrium of the species and ecological whole, will perhaps be the leading idea of the future.
Joseph Needham
We like to have the measurements for several reasons. One is for scientific purposes, so we can get a better understanding of the size of the species. Measurements also help confirm the dimensions of the fish if the pictures are lacking in the application.
Jason Schratwieser
The park's doing everything it can. If they can't make it happen there, maybe they can't make it happen. Normally, the park is a stronghold for a species.
Steve Kelly
An intriguing aspect of this study is that the mechanism for ensuring cross-fertilization is very old, often lost, and never regained. That it is still common despite frequent and irreversible loss implies that this trait confers an advantage to species that possess it, perhaps in terms of reduced rates of extinction.
Joshua Kohn
Humanity is quite a unique species, since it is the only one with the means to wipe itself out.
Ramman Kenoun
These species are not inherently bad. They're just in the wrong place.
David Lodge
Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.
Konrad Lorenz
We have a very unique opportunity and a very important window to learn more about this particular species.
Steve Mcculloch
I was so excited about it because I felt it was meaningful. I really do worry about our species in the next 100 years. This book taps into the planetary concerns I have.
Stuart Rawlings
In previous analyses, researchers did not account for differences in species abundance. As a result, they dramatically undercounted.
John Dunbar
The pattern raises the alarm, however, that these species 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
We should protect endangered species, but not at the expense of our property owners.
Henry Brown
Only within the moment of time represented by the present century has one species -- man -- acquired significant power to alter the nature of his world.
Rachel Carson
It's a very rare opportunity in history for us to get second chances to save an endangered species.
Ron Rohrbaugh
Our petition to list the polar bear as a threatened species is based on the overwhelming evidence that global warming threatens the bear with extinction.
Andrew Wetzler
When you get down to a few dozen members of a species you're really talking about very serious problems, ... So this is a tool. From now on that there's no need ever really to ever lose that genetic diversity that's remaining in these wild populations.
Robert Lanza
Most of the cloned animals through all kinds of species are abnormal. A lot of them die prematurely, or have all kinds of defects. Many cloned mice die immediately after birth because of breathing failure.
Tobias Brambrink
Can't you see that marriage is a fundamentally different institution? ... Marriage is the institution by which we propagate our species and inculcate our young.
Tom Mcclintock
The more you know about a species, the more you understand about how better to help protect them.
Alan Clark
It's too late. It's a global ecology. There will always be different species invading. We're really past the point of being able to do anything about it.
Jim Mcmahon
I think it is outrageous. Here is one of the more charismatic species that our state once had. The mountain lion is native to Missouri.
Ted Heisel
[This has become a problem for some western trout species in areas where rainbow trout have been introduced.] We are losing the genetic integrity of many of the western cutthroat subspecies, ... Many populations are being wiped out, and once lost, they can't be replaced.
Jim Williams
The forests of the South are among the richest in terms of total number of species of any habitats in the world.
Steve Mccormick
We have a need for heroes as a species, you know. That is one of the distinguishing traits of humans. We have a need to have an idealized sense of who we are at our best.
David Blankenhorn
To have a naturally started fire in a natural area with plenty of species that are dependent on fire isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Julena Campbell
It is only in recent years that many of the potential immunological problems, such as transplant rejection, have been solved, meaning the process of transplanting organs from one species into another could soon be a reality.
Anthony Warrens
[The researchers actually reanalyzed old data, using more sophisticated mathematics that took into account that there might be a lot of some species and very little of others.] In previous analyses, researchers did not account for differences in species abundance, ... As a result, they dramatically undercounted.
John Dunbar
Eradication of this unquenchable shrub [tamarisk] will save water, lower salinity levels and create a more congenial habitat for the Southwest Willow Flycatcher and a number of other riparian species.
Wayne Allard
There was an immeasurable distance between the quick and the dead: they did not seem to belong to the same species; and it was strange to think that but a little while before they had spoken and moved and eaten and laughed.
W. Somerset Maugham
One of the species on the Azores returned to Europe. It seems that having got there in the first instance a very long time ago, it relatively recently migrated back to Europe.
Richard Preece
A man can go from being a lover to being a stranger in three moves flat but a woman under the guise of friendship will engage in acts of duplicity which come to light very much later. There are different species of self-justification.
Anita Brookner
We felt it was very important to let people know there are more manatees now than there were 25 years ago. So we're not in any emergency situation; we are in a situation where we have to manage the species carefully.
Ted Forsgren
The wolf is a hot-button species. It never fails to ignite passions, either for or against.
Rolf Peterson
This is great way for kids to see these animals. Some exhibits let them compare the native with exotic species. And we've had a lot of babies so that's a wonderful opportunity for discovery.
Tasha Weinstein
The extent and the speed of the decline is unprecedented in the world of threatened species.
Chris Bowden
The egg of every species of animal or plant carries a definite number of bodies called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes.
Thomas Hunt Morgan
It can't compete with native species -- it wouldn't survive in the wild easily, but in the house it does just fine.
Darrell Ubick
The purpose of this bill is to protect my private property owners, ... and to make them willing participants in protecting species and their habitat.
Richard Pombo
There is broad consensus in Congress to reform the Endangered Species Act.
James Saxton
With the exception of certain rodents, no other vertebrate except Homo sapiens habitually destroys members of his own species.
Anthony Storr
It is the formidable character of the species to routinely seek the improbable, the difficult, even the impossible, as a source of pleasure and self-justification. Who would try to write poems, or novels, or paint pictures unless he is an optimist?
Lionel Tiger
We have proved that one (species) is transforming into the other, so this evidence is important to show that there is human evolution... that human evolution is a fact and not a hypothesis.
Dr Berhane Asfaw
The creditors' committee is not Noah's Ark, you don't take two of every species.
Jack Butler
Grief is a species of idleness.
Samuel Johnson
Any time you introduce a new species into an ecosystem, there will be disruption, but we don't know what that disruption will be.
Dan Tredinnick
[But after Darwin's 1859 publication of] On the Origin of Species, ... The sense that you needed a watchmaker disappeared. The watch could put itself together.
William Dembski
Just the last month, they've become available for the first time. This is very concerning because this is a very poorly known species to science.
Bryan Stuart
WEAKNESSES, n.pl. Certain primal powers of Tyrant Woman wherewith she holds dominion over the male of her species, binding him to the service of her will and paralyzing his rebellious energies.
Ambrose Bierce
Amphibians are right in the center of the food chain. They keep insect numbers down and serve as food themselves for many species, including wading birds, reptiles and even fish.
Che Weldon
The (department) and the Department of Fish and Game have essentially ignored the requirements of the California Endangered Species Act.
Bill Jennings
(Nationally), species such as the bald eagle have made a comeback because of targeted efforts. But unlike the federal program, Georgia does not have an individual recovery plan for each protected species.
Brett Albanese
As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.
Arthur C. Clarke
It hardly matters if you list a species, if you don't take care of their habitat.
Jamie Rappaport Clark
We're not making widgets. It might be that somebody has to create so much hate and discontent that we reach total gridlock, nobody can do anything, everybody's suing everybody, and then ... when things get dysfunctional enough, something (like stability, cooperation and some species of real government) will emerge.
John Kircher
A man, to be greatly good, must magine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and in many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The act is stronger than the endangered species laws. There is no wiggle room.
Mark Shieldcastle
The species concept debate has devolved from an empirical discussion into a philosophical one. But this is fundamentally an empirical question. These data support the notion that species can be both units of evolution and products of evolution.
Loren Rieseberg
Pigs are probably one of the most damaging invasive species.
Bryan Smith
We are using our seven gill shark as a surrogate species because they are more common and easier to work with than risking the gray nurse shark.
Nick Kirby
We have 96 banned species in Connecticut.
Donna Ellis
Once an invasive species arrives, it's about impossible to get rid of it.
Sean Hanna
If the Endangered Species Act can be amended to be a little more landowner friendly, I think it would be more helpful in recovering some of these species.
Ron Randall
But in the face of big challenges such as habitat loss, pollution of coastal zones, and species loss, and the high seas collapse of fish stocks, the whole marine realm is becoming rapidly more important.
Achim Steiner
The data is brought before the commission. Only the commission has the authority to change the listing of a species.
Daniel Sullivan
It is expected that nearly 200 species in the river valley will be listed on the database and will be protected.
Liang Jianhong
This creek is home to several threatened and endangered species of mussels. Our main issue is the residential and commercial development and mining. There are so many natural resources here in Lee County and if you're into nature, there's plenty to offer here in Auburn.
Marylou Smith
Washington's approach to salmon recovery is a national model. We were the first in the history of the federal Endangered Species Act to have local communities statewide write recovery plans and set priorities for saving salmon.
William Ruckelshaus
The Endangered Species Act is in desperate need of an update, ... It has hurt species recovery by leading to the trend we all know as 'shoot, shovel and shut up.' And it has hurt family farmers and ranchers by taking their property away.
Richard Pombo
We are an arrogant species, full of terrible potential, but we also have a great capacity for love, friendship, generosity, kindness, faith, hope, and joy.
Dean Koontz
It's not right to think that the public's interest in protecting species should be the sole burden of private landowners. If the public, through the laws of the federal government, wants costly actions to occur on private land then the public must be willing to step up and help compensate private landowners, where appropriate, for their loss.
Greg Walden
You should be pretty detail oriented, able to separate the different species and have good eyesight.
Mike Chapman
They're a species of special concern. They're not knocking on extinction's door, but they're not far off.
Michael Orchin
The golden frog is already endangered because of habitat loss and collecting for the pet trade. It was one of the species we found dead and infected with the fungus at El Cope. As far as we know, every species at the site was probably infested with it and died.
Karen Lips
Humans can learn to like anything, that's why we are such a successful species.
Jeannette Desor
When an area is disturbed, it upsets the natural balance and creates an ecological open space that gives non-natives a foothold, ... Another thing is that Florida is not very species-diverse, so there are more options for invasion because there aren't many native species.
Aaron Adams
Initially, the Endangered Species Act created a preservation pattern that was oriented species by species. It made for a complex but not very efficient system.
Stephanie Pincetl
Sharks are declining globally, yet the movements and habitats of most species are unknown.
Barbara Block
What we can measure is how hard we are trying. Measures of effort may be a more useful indicator than estimated rates of species loss. For example, we can measure the number of new protected areas being established and ask if they have sufficient budgets.
Jeff Mcneely
We're talking about species whose generation time, which is the amount of time (they need) to replace themselves, is 17 to 21 years. So it will be a century before we see any recovery.
Jennifer Devine
There are all these species out there and so few of them are known in intimate detail, so any kind of ecological characterization, through no fault of ecologists, will be limited in accuracy and precision.
Daniel Funk
We need to know the species identities in order to understand how freshwater communities are changing over time, as a response to climate change, pollution or invasive species. We're hoping that by studying the biology of the rare males, we can learn more about species diversity and freshwater ecosystem changes.
Derek J. Taylor
Some of these collections have taken years to accumulate. We had five species of freshwater stingray. We had dozens of breeding projects over the last 15 years. We had a jellyfish gallery 10 years in the making. All that's gone.
Lance Ripley
There are a lot of species that come for landscaping, for pets, that don't cause problems. We didn't write a definition that would be bulletproof.
Steve Sanford
The Mountain Lion Foundation is putting all game agencies on notice, ... International scientists responsible for monitoring the state of the world's species have declared the mountain lion is actively threatened due to high levels of hunting pressure.
Lynn Sadler
They literally throw a bucket overboard and bring it back up and take that water, with probably several thousand species of microbes, and they shotgun-sequence it and reconstruct what all the species were.
Larry Smarr
The ferret has been listed under the Endangered Species Act for a long time, and this is a great example of that legislation preventing the extinction of another animal.
Jacob Smith
This is a pristine watershed, with a lot of spawning habitat and it could support a big run of the species. That is why we are so eager to get something going.
Tom Cleveland
The return of our national symbol is a victory for wildlife, a victory for conservation and a victory for the Endangered Species Act.
Doug Inkley
The global pattern we observed suggests that plant species in species-rich regions exhibit a greater reduction in fruit production due to insufficient pollination than plant species in regions of lower biodiversity.
Susan Mazer
Governor Kempthorne has taken stands on endangered species that have been controversial. I think there will be those that are concerned that those controversial positions will be going back to D.C..
Justin Hayes
Of the 32 species of sea horses in the world, only four have been studied underwater. We need to increase our most basic understanding of these fish ? how long they live and where their seasonal migrations are.
Amanda Vincent
Although the participants in this group came to the table with significantly different perspectives, they engaged in high-level, productive discussions, the results of which will be extremely helpful to Congress as it considers changes to the Endangered Species Act.
Peter Adler
I am willing to do whatever we can to put the focus on recovery and do what we can to recover these species as long as my property owners are protected.
Richard Pombo
I have always recommended natural beauty products. I'm concerned about the artificial ingredients in many beauty products. I thought about more novel approaches, and I looked at ancient species of mushrooms for their anti-inflammatory powers.
Andrew Weil
I'm sure it has to be a species distinct from us. There is speculation that it could be a diseased human, but this is nothing like that.
Andrew Hill
Techniques such as genetic engineering, psychoactive drugs and electronic control of the brain make possible a transformation of the species into docile, fully-obedient, 'safe' organisms.
William Bainbridge
This just proves the Endangered Species Act works.
Lynda White
Literally millions of specimens have been collected. There will be many more new species of spiders.
Charles Griswold
There are only very minor differences between the markers in cattle, hogs, horses and dogs, or any other mammal you can think of. Once we've developed and commercialized the kit for one species, we believe it will be very straightforward to do all others.
Peter Belcher
In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them.
Aldo Leopold
These tortoises are endangered species. They are also very territorial. Unfortunately, they get killed trying to come back.
Mary Cantrell
Although we are developing a better understanding of the biology, epidemiology and evolution of species jumps, we are not yet able to predict future infectious disease threats.
Mark Woolhouse
The goal is to recover species and give them to the states, and we can then put our resources into species with other needs.
Valerie Fellows
Those species are unusual, but for the most part they're harmless. The snakehead has the potential to cause a wide range of ecological problems.
Bobby Wilson
When you go back into the ice age, you're tapping into our species. It's philosophic, it's religious, it's scientific.
Al Goodyear
We must recognize that we're all part of a web of life around the world. Anytime you extinguish a species, the consequences are serious.
Gaylord Nelson
We have new members such as the 'black queen,' 'diamonds,' and 'Darwin' species.
Fan Xiaofeng
This is recognizing that beyond architectural beauty, natural beauty is something that can't be replaced. Once these bird species go extinct they're not coming back.
Adrian Benepe
There should be concern expressed at every possible venue to bring pressure on both the African governments and on the international bodies to do something about this. Unless this is stopped, these species could become extinct, and it would be a terrible loss to humanity.
Richard Leakey
The fact that we found so many new species in such a harsh environment, as well as documented several rare and endangered species, is good news for these two regions.
