Sir Winston Churchill said:"The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences." Nelson Mandela mused: "I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses." President-elect Barack Obama proclaimed: "People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time." It is now painfully clear that we need to acknowledge our complicity in the degradation of our last-remaining wilderness areas, most of which will be gone within the next 50 years, lost to us forever. From that point forward we will be in control of, and thus responsible for, all aspects of our biosphere. Alone and in control of our own destiny. The loss of that which is "wild" would be the greatest loss of the 21st century. We need to invest more of our time, money and intellectual ability into conserving these last-remaining a new world.a new world. |
