Karl Marx was right, socialism works, it is just that he had the wrong species - Edward O. Wilson

Humanity is exalted not because we are so far above other living creatures, but because knowing them well elevates the very concept of life.

The race is now on between the technoscientific and scientific forces that are destroying the living environment and those that can be harnessed to save it. . . . If the race is won, humanity can emerge in far better condition than when it entered, and with most of the diversity of life still intact.

Despite all of our pretenses and fantasies, we always have been and will remain a biological species tied to this particular biological world. Millions of years of evolution are indelibly encoded in our genes. History without the wildlands is no history at all.
