The Secrets of Leadership

I believe that in this century, the great significance of conservation will be realized. With seven billion human beings demanding so much of one planet, it is now inevitable that a collision between our numbers and our expectations will occur. The desire of people everywhere for a full and reasonable life have placed unprecedent demands on natural systems. If this is true, then the great notion launched upon the world over 100 years ago that we term conservation will become the one idea that can truly save humanity. In its embrace will lie our future - one only possible if the great web of life upon which we and all creatures depend is protected and sustained.
