“You know, of all the great things that America has stood for and all of the great ideas that America has brought to the world and continues to bring to the world, I think we sometimes forget that conservation itself was also an idea born here in America. It is my view that ultimately the world will come to understand that, of all the great ideas for which this country has been responsible, this notion of conservation will stand as the greatest of all, because ultimately the future of all peoples depends on whether we are successful in conserving the natural world.” Hear this powerful call to commitment from the great North American conservationist, Shane Mahoney HERE.
