Wildlife Quotes - Page 10

• Los bosques rusos se derrumban bajo el hacha, miles de millones de árboles mueren, las moradas de animales y pájaros son arrasadas, los ríos crecen poco profundos y se secan, paisajes maravillosos desaparecen para siempre.... El hombre está dotado de creatividad para multiplicar lo que le ha sido dado; no ha creado, sino destruido. Cada vez hay menos bosques, los ríos se secan, la fauna se extingue, el clima se arruina y la Tierra se empobrece y se vuelve cada vez más fea.

• A Panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots into the air. "Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife annual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I'm a Panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry, and, sure enough, finds an explanation. Panda. Large black and white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.

• Se puede perforar en el Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre del Ártico, en cada plataforma continental y en la cima de cada colina de Estados Unidos, y aun así no se invertirá el hecho de que nuestra producción de petróleo está en declive permanente. Sólo estamos absorbiendo lo que queda, cavando nosotros mismos un agujero más profundo.

• Los ríos recorren nuestra historia y nuestro folclore, y nos unen como pueblo. Nos nutren y nos refrescan y dan cobijo a deslumbrantes variedades de peces y fauna silvestre y a árboles y plantas de todo tipo. Somos una nación rica en ríos.

• El amor que siento por nuestra fauna es tan grande que llena mi mundo. Después del Sábado Negro vi un mundo en blanco y negro, vacío de animales y humanos. Lo que más echaba de menos era el amor y la vida de vivir con la vida salvaje. Cada día pienso en los que se han ido y hay un profundo agujero en mi corazón. No echaba de menos a los humanos ni los sonidos que hacían, echaba de menos a los animales, los sonidos de paz y amor que salían de ellos. Tanta belleza y armonía con la naturaleza, sólo los animales pueden ser tan inteligentes.

• Without knowing it, we utilize hundreds of products each day that owe their origin to wild animals and plants. Indeed our welfare is intimately tied up with the welfare of wildlife. Well may conservationists proclaim that by saving the lives of wild species, we may be saving our own.

• Grassroots groups challenge the "business-as-usual" environmentalism that is generally practiced by the more privileged wildlife-and conservation-oriented groups. The focus of activists of color and their constituents reflects their life experiences of social, economic, and political disenfranchisement.

• The dangerous temptation of wildlife films is that they can lull us into thinking we can get by without the original models -- that we might not need animals in the flesh.

• The whole concept of 'wild' was decidedly European, one not shared by the original inhabitants of this continent. What we called 'wilderness' was to the Indian a homeland, 'abiding loveliness' in Salish or Piegan. The land was not something to be feared or conquered, and 'wildlife' were neither wild nor alien; they were relatives.

• Cuando observo un animal salvaje o natural, no veo las plumas de las alas, sólo las cuento. Veo formas excitantes, combinaciones de colores, patrones, texturas, comportamientos fascinantes y un sinfín de posibilidades para hacer fotos interesantes. Considero el cuadro como un ecosistema en el que todos los elementos están interrelacionados, son interdependientes, están perfectamente equilibrados, sin recortes ni partes desaprovechadas; y ahí reside el atractivo del cuadro; en un mundo de caos, el cuadro es un pequeño rectángulo en el que el artista puede crear un universo ordenado.

• 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.

• For years, I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled, it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate, particularly to places which have amazing wildlife, such as Antarctica, India and Patagonia.

• When the planes still swoop down and aerial spray a field in order to kill a predator insect with pesticides, we are in the Dark Ages of commerce. Maybe one thousandth of this aerial insecticide actually prevents the infestation. The balance goes to the leaves, into the soil, into the water, into all forms of wildlife, into ourselves. What is good for the balance sheet is wasteful of resources and harmful to life.

• Supercars are supposed to run over Arthur Scargill and then run over him again for good measure. They are designed to melt ice caps, kill the poor, poison the water table, destroy the ozone layer, decimate indigenous wildlife, recapture the Falkland Islands and turn the entire third world into a huge uninhabitable desert, all that before they nicked all the oil in the world.

• If we drill the hell out of everything, including protected public lands and fragile regions like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, America can emerge as an 'energy superpower.'

• To the bird watcher, the suburbanite who derives joy from birds in his garden, the hunter, the fisherman or the explorer of wild regions, anything that destroys the wildlife of an area for even a single year has deprived him of pleasure to which he has a legitimate right. This is a valid point of view.

• Daría mucho por poder convencer a China de que no quiere marfil. No sabes cuánto daría por poder detener el comercio ilícito de la fauna africana y mirar al presidente de China a los ojos y decirle: "Ya no quieres esto, tu país ya no quiere esto", y que se hiciera. Sería estupendo.

• We thank those Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who stood firm against tremendous pressure from the Bush administration, pro-drilling members of Congress and their allies in the oil industry. They recognize that the budget is an inappropriate place to decide controversial national policy matters like America's energy policy. We urge all members of Congress to remain steadfast in their belief that the vast, unspoiled wilderness of America?s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is more than a line item in the Federal Budget.
