'The replacement of the natural world by the burgeoning human one diminishes us all whether we recognise it or not. All over the planet the pattern is the same; what we pass on to our children will be mere traces of the world before this one. It is critical the natural places that remain be left as they are, they remind us of 'the world that used to be' - that still can be - if we change our reckless ways. Irrespective how the world may terminate, I will always have the memorry at least of these special places that have made me who I am'
