"The days of relying on conservation alone to save the natural world are over. The time has come for us to take up the challenge of regenerating the world's natural resources, reclaiming degraded ecosystems, and changing the narrative that the ecological world must be sacrificed to the economic world." ~ Jesse McDougall
