Nature
- isms
adages, aphorisms, beliefs,
maxims, morals, musings, natural laws, philosophies, principles, proverbs,
quotations, reflections, sayings and thoughts on nature and nature conservation.
To
love loons is to love the earth.
Two
forces shape the world - nature and human nature.
A
nation's distinctiveness is defined by its position on the biosphere and by
how its animals, plants and microorganisms interact.
Our
natural heritage is the foundation of the national treasury.
A
nation that gradually destroys its natural heritage destroys itself.
Environmental
literacy is an essential part of a high-quality education.
Urban
rain hurts.
Smog
is unhealthy for lichens, trees and other organisms.
Genetically-engineered
foods are unnatural foods.
Beware of those who claim that it is safe for people and
other animals to eat genetically engineered foods, for no one has lived long
enough to know.
The
seeds grown each year are the seeds of the future.
Words
sow their seeds and wait for thoughts to germinate.
Each
species in the world, as each letter in a word, is equally important.
Wilderness
is the source and sustenance of all life, love and poetry.
Humans
are citizens of an ecodependency.
To
learn to respect one's ecosystem is to learn to respect the world.
How do I identify a significant natural area? It is easy. They are all significant.
Habitat loss includes the loss of stars in the sky at night.
Restoration
of ecosystems requires restoration of the mind.
I
know who I am. I am an animal.
Wild
animals belong wherever they are found.
Adapted
well to every century but this, and now extinct for every century to miss.
Every
species deserves respect.
I cry to them that they are blind to wage a war on their own kind.
War is murder, deliberate murder.
Species
survival is vital to the survival of species.
Global
Farm (ferme planétaire, granja global): the global farm concept expands
on the global village concept to focus attention on the interdependence between
people, nations and nature. The speed of information exchange now enables
the world's people to manage, use and share their biological heritage with each
other. Joint stewardship to sustain the world's biological diversity and
biological productivity, as the means to ensure intergenerational fairness for
all species, recreates the world in the image of a global family farm. The
global garden and the global forest are integral parts of the global farm.
Survival
of the fittest means survival of those who can adapt to change.
The
limits of one's mind define the limits of one's world.
Warblers,
wasps, whales, willows, wolves and worms are with us for reasons we do not
understand. People can live without them, but can humanity?
How
well we use, sustain and share our natural heritage defines our love
of country and the earth.
