Natural Habitats Quotes

• Lo peor que probablemente ocurrirá -de hecho ya está en marcha- no es el agotamiento energético, el colapso económico, la guerra convencional o la expansión de gobiernos totalitarios. Por terribles que fueran estas catástrofes para nosotros, pueden repararse en unas pocas generaciones. El único proceso en curso que tardará millones de años en corregirse es la pérdida de diversidad genética y de especies por la destrucción de los hábitats naturales. Esta es la locura que menos nos perdonarán nuestros descendientes.

• Los zoológicos se están convirtiendo en facsímiles -o quizá caricaturas- de cómo eran antes los animales en su hábitat natural. Si se aplicaran las políticas adecuadas hacia la naturaleza, no necesitaríamos zoológicos.

• I think it is very important to conserve and protect the natural world. I’ve just come back from Costa Rica and they are really big on eco tourism. They have lots of reserves, and they are really into protecting wildlife. I visited a reserve called Cabo Blanco. You walk into the reserve and there are capucine monkeys swinging from the trees and sloths. I am big into nature, and seeing animals in their natural habitats. I love it.

• A widening circle of researchers believes that the loss of natural habitat, or the disconnection from nature even when it is available, has enormous implications for human health and child development. They say the quality of exposure to nature affects our health at an almost cellular level.

• Soy como el pez en el acuario, pensando en un idioma diferente, adaptándome a una vida que no es mi hábitat natural. Soy la gente de los otros coches, cada uno con su propia historia, pero que pasan demasiado deprisa para que nos demos cuenta o nos entendamos.

• ¿Podemos ignorar el creciente fenómeno de los "refugiados medioambientales", personas que se ven obligadas por la degradación de su hábitat natural a abandonarlo -y a menudo también sus posesiones- para afrontar los peligros e incertidumbres de un desplazamiento forzoso? ¿Podemos permanecer impasibles ante los conflictos reales y potenciales relacionados con el acceso a los recursos naturales? Todas estas son cuestiones con un profundo impacto en el ejercicio de los derechos humanos, como el derecho a la vida, a la alimentación, a la salud y al desarrollo.

• No other life forms know they are alive, and neither do they know they will die. This is our curse alone. Without this hex upon our heads, we would never have withdrawn as far as we have from the natural—so far and for such a time that it is a relief to say what we have been trying with our all not to say: We have long since been denizens of the natural world. Everywhere around us are natural habitats, but within us is the shiver of startling and dreadful things. Simply put: We are not from here. If we vanished tomorrow, no organism on this planet would miss us. Nothing in nature needs us.

• I doubt that religion can survive deep understanding. The shallows are its natural habitat. Cranks and fundamentalists are too often victimised as scapegoats for religion in general. It is only quite recently that Christianity reinvented itself in non-fundamentalist guise, and Islam has yet to do so.
