Make it clear to them that every endangered species has a name, has a billion year history, has a place in the world. Bring us face to face with each one of those species. Make us know that they're our companions in the biosphere. They're not just something out there you look at once in a while, but they're part of our existence. They're part of us. Human beings are the masters of this world now. We can take these animals and plants with us as we travel into the future or we can say good-bye and send them into the night. But whether we realize it or not, we depend utterly on other creatures for our very survival. They are part of our existence. They are part of us.\
