The deeper we look into Nature, the more we recognise that it is full of life and the more prfoundly we know that all Life is a secret and that we are united with all life that is in Nature


— Albert Schweitzer 1875 - 1965
A tree lives by its roots. Change the roots and you change the tree. Change the trees and you change the Forest.

Jane Goodall

It would be absolutely useless for any of us to work to save wildlife without working to educate the next generation of conservationists..
