"Our remnants of wilderness will yield bigger values to this nation's character and health than they will to its pocketbook - to destroy them will be to admit that the latter are the only values that really interest us".

~ Aldo Leopold

 

"Can we hope to preserve, in the midst of modern America, any such remnant of our continent’s primordial landscape, any such sample of true wildness—a gloriously inhospitable place, full of predators and prey, in which nature is still allowed to be red in tooth and claw? Can that sort of place be reconciled with human demands and human convenience? Time alone, and our choices, will tell".

~David Quammen
