We learn about medicines from plants and animals, and we need them for many of the medicines we use. We can also study how animals and plants survive in different climates and conditions and learn from them.

A clean environment is essential for healthy living. When the earth is sick and polluted, human health is impossible…. To heal ourselves we must heal our planet, and to heal our planet we must heal ourselves.”

For the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change. Yes, it’s true that no single event makes a trend. But the fact is, the 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15.

We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science—and act before it’s too late.

But There must be a realization of the fact that to waste, to destroy, our natural resources,to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.

We have many of the basic necessities that we need to survive because of biodiversity. Food, water, shelter, and air. If something happens to a certain organism, an unwanted chain reaction may occur. That may lead to a loss of biodiversity, which may negatively affect our necessities.

The greater the diversity of life, the greater the opportunity for discoveries that could make our world a much better place. Let’s do what we can to prevent the loss of biodiversity.

We should judge every scrap of biodiversity as priceless while we learn to use it and come to understand what it means to humanity.

Nature gives us so many things for free. It gives us clean air, clean water, beautiful landscapes, breathtaking views, and the list goes on. We take so much from nature, but what do we give in return? Pollution? The least we can do is show our appreciation by protecting and preserving our environment.

What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.

Out of all those millions and millions of planets floating around there in space, this is our planet, this is our little one, so we just got to be aware of it and take care of it.

Nature is not simply a warehouse of resources to serve human needs. Rather, it is a highly integrated, interdependent functioning system upon which all life forms, including the soil, water, plants, animals and humans depend for survival.

It is necessary for us to treat the natural environment with love and respect because the failure of the system would ultimately threaten the subsistence of human beings.

You don’t have to be an expert or a millionaire to save the Planet - everyone can help to do their bit for the environment.In other words, if each of us can be more conscious of environmental issues and willing to take some simple steps to save the Planet, we can make a huge contribution.

The environment helps in protecting the ecosystem: Changes affecting the ecosystem put multiple species in the danger of extinction necessitating the need of protecting the environment. Ecosystems are deeply connected to one another.

Protecting the environment protects humanity: Pollution is one of the most hazardous factors affecting the environment. It affects the quality of food leading to the ingestion of toxic substances.

Humans have a moral obligation to preserve nature and its features: Humans are responsible for taking care of the environment. Protecting the environment would be an act of fulfilling their compulsions.

One will be happier in life if you focus on giving rather than receiving. Treating the environment well is one way to give to the others in your generation. By treating the environment well, you make the planet a better place to live for everyone. You help yourself and others to have higher quality of life.

It is a way to give to the future generations: Not only protecting the environment benefits people in current generation; it will also benefit people in many generations to come. This planet is our legacy to the future generations.

Many animals need the environment for survival: As the environment gets destroyed, the more animals in the ecosystem perish. As the environment is degrading, most of the animal species face extinction.

The environment provides an excellent source of groundwater: The Forest Service has reported that 20% of our drinking water comes from forests. In forest ecosystems, rain and moisture is made into groundwater that is collected as freshwater used for drinking.

Environmental protection reminds us to appreciate the beauty of nature: There is nothing quite like spending time in the forests to sightsee and enjoy a day filled with surprises that only nature can afford. The visual splendor of the forest is one of the things that make the Earth especially stunning and unique.

Protecting the environment make us happy: Millions of people head to the forest to find relaxation and renew their spiritual energy. It has also been scientifically proven that the natural elements of the forest can serve as a remedy for emotional and mental distress.

The benefits of protecting species may not be immediately evident, but the countless ecosystem services many animals and ecosystems provide make wildlife conservation worth the time and money.

As animal populations dwindle, the fight against poaching becomes more crucial. If death tolls continue at current rates rhinos could be extinct by 2025 with death rates surpassing birth rates by 2016 to 2018.

All living things are interdependent and rely on each other to grow and thrive in their own habitat. If that natural habitat is degraded, all life is impacted, beyond what people have been able to see on the surface.

It is essential to take actions to protect wildlife from extinction. By doing so, we do not only ensure their survival, but also the diversity of the ecosystem. As a result, it will help improve the ecological health of the earth. Listed below are some of the reasons why wildlife protection is essential.

Wildlife protection is essential because if the animal is gone, it will be impossible to study and learn from them. Unfortunately, a lot of wildlife has disappeared from earth due to human activities, such as the Bali tiger, Mexican grizzly bear, and the Japanese wolf.

When we conserve and protect the natural habitat of wildlife species, we enrich our planet. To do so, we must keep the animals in their natural place. Conservation of natural habitats will also be beneficial for humans since it helps keep the essential watersheds intact and ensuring clean, fresh water.

The eco-system is all about relationships between different organisms connected through food webs and food chains. Even if a single wildlife species gets extinct from the eco-system, it may disturb the whole food chain ultimately leading to disastrous results.

It would not be long, when the number of herbivores in forests would soar to such a great extent that they would move to agricultural lands and villages for their food needs. Thus, saving wildlife plays a great role in ensuring a check on the ecological balance thereby, maintaining a healthy eco-system.

Today, almost all the wildlife authorities across different countries are facing illicit acts of poaching and killing of animals by smugglers for animal skins, tusks and horns.

It’s not a one man’s job to save wildlife; it’s a joint effort that every single person needs to be part of.

Sometimes we don’t know there is a problem until something happens to animals and plants and we ask why.

I set up a laboratory in the Department of Physiology in the Medical School in South Africa and begin to try to find a bacteriophage system which we might use to solve the genetic code.

If you convert to Islam after a couple of decades of being a black man in the U.S., the discrimination you receive as a Muslim doesn't feel like a shock.

What I really like doing is taking risks, musically.

I've had some really big hits with 'Groundhog Day' and 'Michael,' 'Multiplicity,' 'Four Weddings and a Funeral.'

If I'm going to fly for more than twenty feet it's generally a good idea to get a stunt guy.

Uniqueness is what makes you the most beautiful.

Nothings wrong with honest emotion.

You only have one thing to sell in life, and that's yourself.

When you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.

I felt that what is personal is political.

New York is a much more bourgeois city, more of a tourist attraction than a muscular metropolis. It's lost moxie and a rough energy, while gaining grace and friendliness. I love both versions of the city, but I wish the prosperous Manhattan would become a little easier for young people to afford.

Very whitely still The lilies of our lives may reassure Their blossoms from their roots, accessible Alone to heavenly dews that drop not fewer; Growing straight out of man's reach, on the hill. God only, who made us rich, can make us poor.

I was such a huge fan of 'The X-Files.'

I always wanted to write fiction. Always. As far back as I can remember it's been integral to my sense of myself - everything else was always a displacement activity.
