Biosphere - The Fragility of our Natural Heritage

Abstract

"By minding animals we mind ourselves. Personal transformations will serve us well. We owe it to future generations to transcend the present, to share dreams for a better world, to step lightly, to move cautiously with restraint. We destroy one another when we destroy the Earth. We all can be dreamers and doers. We owe it to ourselves and to other animals, to whom we can, unfortunately, do whatever we choose. We owe it to ourselves to keep in mind the power of love. As big-brained, omnipresent, powerful, and supposedly omniscient mammals, we are the most powerful beings on Earth. We really are that powerful, and with that might are inextricably tied innumerable staggering responsibilities to be ethical human beings. Human being is a outcome of compassion and kindness. Human being is designed to love and protect, as he exercises his stewardship on Biosphere – The Fragility of our Natural Heritage." (p. 8)
