"Conservation is not a goal but a never-ending process, one in which everyone has to be involved... By using all our wisdom, knowledge, passion, perseverance, dedication, and ever-lasting commitment, we can retain the beauty and health of our planet. After all, it is the only home we shall ever have."

~ George Schaller
