![Endangered Species Quotes By Mike Judge Endangered Species Quotes By Mike Judge](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-mike-judge-1017212.jpg)
Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it begins to simply reward those who reproduce the most and leave the intelligent to become an endangered species. — Mike Judge
![Endangered Species Quotes By Norah Gallagher Endangered Species Quotes By Norah Gallagher](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-norah-gallagher-1474969.jpg)
Part of my life no longer made sense. A life of meetings stretched between appointments, half listening to people, always running late. A life dictated by clocks and money and computers and cars, without hawks and lakes and wild roses. A world increasingly without surprise or humor. I thought of how we as a species have endangered not only animals and plants around us but the wild nature of our own lives. We have fabricated this world, to paraphrase the writer Phillip Sherrard, and our punishment is that we have to adapt to it. — Norah Gallagher

![Endangered Species Quotes By Anonymous Endangered Species Quotes By Anonymous](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-anonymous-1218525.jpg)
The very opposition between "conservative" and "progressive" politics can be conceived of in the terms of Darwinism: ultimately, conservatives defend the right of those with might (their very success proves that they won in the struggle for survival), while progressives advocate the protection of endangered human species, i.e., of those losing the struggle for survival. — Anonymous
![Endangered Species Quotes By Stephen J. O'Brien Endangered Species Quotes By Stephen J. O'Brien](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-stephen-j-obrien-103101.jpg)
Taxonomy, also called systematics, is the science-based hierarchical classification of the world's species. The area had traditionally been an obscure academic discipline dominated by erudite and professional dons who would memorize and interpret thousands of Latin species names. Advances seldom made the newspapers and caustic disputes lingered in the dust scientific literature for generations. That academic innocence would be lost forever when precise taxonomic recognition of species and subspecies came to be the basis for protection under the Endangered Species Act. — Stephen J. O'Brien
![Endangered Species Quotes By Elizabeth Kolbert Endangered Species Quotes By Elizabeth Kolbert](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-elizabeth-kolbert-96135.jpg)
Right now, in the amazing moment that to us counts as the present, we are deciding, without quite meaning to, which evolutionary pathways will remain open and which will forever be closed. No other creature has ever managed this and it will, unfortunately, be our most enduring legacy. — Elizabeth Kolbert
![Endangered Species Quotes By Dale Jamieson Endangered Species Quotes By Dale Jamieson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-dale-jamieson-1137419.jpg)
Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower created the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an achievement that much of the Republican Party has been trying to undo over the past several decades. Richard Nixon signed into law four landmark federal bills: the Clean Air Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Environmental Pesticide Control Act, and the Endangered Species Act. He established the Environmental Protection Agency, and made many strong environmental appointments in his administration. As we saw in Section 2.2, it was when the Reagan administration came to power in 1980 that environmental concern began to become a partisan issue. — Dale Jamieson

In the world of commercial speech, tobacco advertising bears the earmarks of an endangered species. — Jef I. Richards
![Endangered Species Quotes By Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Endangered Species Quotes By Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-jeffrey-moussaieff-masson-1554898.jpg)
Animals are, like us, endangered species on an endangered planet, and we are the ones who are endangering them, it, and ourselves. They are innocent sufferers in a hell of our making. — Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
![Endangered Species Quotes By Lisa Kleypas Endangered Species Quotes By Lisa Kleypas](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-lisa-kleypas-1278453.jpg)
Dane was shaking his head firmly. "Don't bring it here, Ella. No babies."
I gave him a dark look. "What if it were a baby polar bear or a baby Galapagos penguin? I bet you'd want it then."
"I'd make an exception for endangered species," he allowed.
"This baby is endangered. It's with my mother. — Lisa Kleypas
![Endangered Species Quotes By Wavy Gravy Endangered Species Quotes By Wavy Gravy](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-wavy-gravy-1830814.jpg)
It had an enormous impact to the point of the United Nations passing a resolution against the killing and hunting of these whales as they are an endangered species. This was a documentary on the plight of the whales. — Wavy Gravy
![Endangered Species Quotes By Jared Diamond Endangered Species Quotes By Jared Diamond](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-jared-diamond-479401.jpg)
There is nothing new about prophecies to the effect that the end of the world is near if we do not repent. What is new is that such a prophecy is now true, for two obvious reasons. First, nuclear weapons give us the means to wipe ourselves out quickly: no humans possessed this means before. Second, we already appropriate about forty per cent of the Earth's net productivity (that is, the net energy captured from sunlight). With the world's human population now doubling every forty-one years, we will soon have reached the biological limit to growth, at which point we will have to start fighting each other in deadly earnest for a slice of the world's fixed pie of resources. In addition, given the present rate at which we are exterminating species, most of the world's species will become extinct or endangered within the next century, but we depend on many species for our own life support. — Jared Diamond
![Endangered Species Quotes By Lynda Obst Endangered Species Quotes By Lynda Obst](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-lynda-obst-1124176.jpg)
Love and friendship, two of life's abiding rewards, are endangered species in Hollywood. People crave both, mistaking alliance for friendship, lust for love, and ambition for both. — Lynda Obst
![Endangered Species Quotes By Marina Keegan Endangered Species Quotes By Marina Keegan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-marina-keegan-730766.jpg)
People are strange about animals. Especially large ones. Daily, on the docks of Wellfleet Harbor, thousands of fish are scaled, gutted, and seasoned with thyme and lemon. No one strokes their sides with water. No one cries when their jaws slip open. Pilot whales are not an endangered species, yet people spend tens of thousands of dollars in rescue efforts, trucking the wounded to aquariums and in some places even airlifting them off beaches. — Marina Keegan
![Endangered Species Quotes By Stephen J. O'Brien Endangered Species Quotes By Stephen J. O'Brien](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-stephen-j-obrien-1446077.jpg)
Field biologists studying large and charismatic animals wanted to know if their own species had genetic problems. I listened carefully to stories of koalas in Australia, giant pandas in China, black-footed ferrets in the Midwest, elephants, rhinos, and leopards in Africa, and orangutans in Asia--all threatened or endangered species attended by packs of worried field biologists. If cheetahs paid a price for their brush with extinction, did these species suffer the same? — Stephen J. O'Brien
![Endangered Species Quotes By R.M. DAmato Endangered Species Quotes By R.M. DAmato](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-r-m-damato-1452309.jpg)
We will become an endangered species in the next century. Machines will take over. Ideas won't matter. Performance alone will count. — R.M. DAmato
![Endangered Species Quotes By John Young Endangered Species Quotes By John Young](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-john-young-1528927.jpg)
If you want to see an endangered species, get up and look in the mirror. — John Young
![Endangered Species Quotes By Jim Saxton Endangered Species Quotes By Jim Saxton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-jim-saxton-1448727.jpg)
It is a drastic mistake to eliminate the provisions that have to do with the protection of habitat for endangered species. It is my opinion that the Endangered Species Act is 99 percent about protecting critical habitat. — Jim Saxton
![Endangered Species Quotes By Rush Limbaugh Endangered Species Quotes By Rush Limbaugh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-rush-limbaugh-1441206.jpg)
Government barriers on Business For example, the Endangered Species Act prevents 'disturbing the habitat' of the spotted owl. That has restricted 4.2 million acres of forest from development, leading to the loss of 30,000 lumber-related jobs and the annual loss of 1.1 billion board feet of lumber. This has driven up the cost of houses by at least $4,000 each. In addition, regulators ordered a Kansas City bank to install a Braille keypad on its drive-through automatic teller machine, presumably to aid any blind drivers. The list goes on and on. — Rush Limbaugh
![Endangered Species Quotes By Gaylord Nelson Endangered Species Quotes By Gaylord Nelson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-gaylord-nelson-1410828.jpg)
If we human beings learn to see the intricacies that bind one part of a natural system to another and then to us, we will no longer argue about the importance of wilderness protection, or over the question of saving endangered species, or how human communities must base their economic futures - not on short-term exploitation - but on long-term, sustainable development. — Gaylord Nelson
![Endangered Species Quotes By Erica Jong Endangered Species Quotes By Erica Jong](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-erica-jong-1852972.jpg)
We need poetry most at those moments when life astounds us with losses, gains, or celebrations. We need it most when we are most hurt, most happy, most downcast, most jubilant. Poetry is the language we speak in times of greatest need. And the fact that it is an endangered species in our culture tells us that we are in deep trouble. — Erica Jong
![Endangered Species Quotes By Carl Sagan Endangered Species Quotes By Carl Sagan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-carl-sagan-1863392.jpg)
Since, in the long run, every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring
not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive ... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds. — Carl Sagan
![Endangered Species Quotes By Sarah Ockler Endangered Species Quotes By Sarah Ockler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-sarah-ockler-1866477.jpg)
Aunt Jayne asks if we'd like to stop somewhere for dessert, and since nodding and smiling is easier than shaking our heads and inventing a reason for not wanting dessert, we okay it without thinking.
And since the universe has worked in its own mysterious way all vacation, tonight shouldn't be any different, which is why neither of us is particularly surprised to discover that Jayne is craving a smoothie.
...
Once Sam returns to his post behind the counter, Frankie stops kicking me and we slurp down our drinks in about two minutes, anxious to get out of here before anyone recognizes us. Uncle Red and Aunt Jayne, on the other hand, act like this is the last smoothie shop they'll ever see, like smoothies are an endangered species to be appreciated and savored and drawn out as long as possible. With each passing minute, Frankie and I sink lower in our chairs, praying to the God of Annoying Coincidences that Jake doesn't show up and blow our cover. — Sarah Ockler
![Endangered Species Quotes By Dan Quayle Endangered Species Quotes By Dan Quayle](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-dan-quayle-1892740.jpg)
The Democrats talked about putting people first. Well, they put people first unless you happen to be a spotted owl or a giant garter snake or some other endangered species and then that seems to have priority. Obviously, you take the bald eagle and things of that sort, of course you're going to make sure that they are saved and that they can live and you're going to take every precaution that you can. But others - we just need a little flexibility. — Dan Quayle
![Endangered Species Quotes By Lawrence Anthony Endangered Species Quotes By Lawrence Anthony](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-lawrence-anthony-1163243.jpg)
Workable solutions for Earth are urgently needed. Saving seals and tigers, or fighting yet another oil pipeline through a wilderness area, while laudable, is merely shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. — Lawrence Anthony
![Endangered Species Quotes By Chuck Palahniuk Endangered Species Quotes By Chuck Palahniuk](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-chuck-palahniuk-76448.jpg)
What Tyler says about the crap and the slaves of history, that's how I felt. I wanted to destroy something beautiful I'd never have. Burn the Amazon rain forests. Pump chlorofluorocarbons straight up to gobble the ozone. Open the dump valves on supertankers and uncap offshore oil wells. I wanted to kill all the fish I couldn't afford to eat, and smother the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted the whole world to hit bottom. Pounding that kid, I really wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every endangered panda that wouldn't screw to save its species and every whale or dolphin that gave up and ran itself aground — Chuck Palahniuk
![Endangered Species Quotes By Lev Grossman Endangered Species Quotes By Lev Grossman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-lev-grossman-1156883.jpg)
He knew for a fact that one of the girls had managed to take over the plenary session of the national model UN and push through a motion sanctioning the use of nuclear weapons to protect an endangered species of sea turtle. This while representing Lesotho. — Lev Grossman
![Endangered Species Quotes By Larry Correia Endangered Species Quotes By Larry Correia](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-larry-correia-1900324.jpg)
Fish and Wildlife wants to fine us for killing a giant mutant Tennessee River catfish because it was endangered. Sure it had just crawled up on land and eaten some teenagers, but it was still an endangered species. — Larry Correia
![Endangered Species Quotes By Charles Clover Endangered Species Quotes By Charles Clover](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-charles-clover-1763560.jpg)
Celebrity chefs are the leaders in the field of food, and we are the led. Why should the leaders of chemical businesses be held responsible for polluting the marine environment with a few grams of effluent, which is sublethal to marine species, while celebrity chefs are turning out endangered fish at several dozen tables a night without enduring a syllable of criticism? — Charles Clover
![Endangered Species Quotes By Bruce Babbitt Endangered Species Quotes By Bruce Babbitt](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-bruce-babbitt-1700577.jpg)
Well, I think breathing life into the Endangered Species Act, taking those wolves back into Yellowstone, restoring the salmon in the rivers of the Pacific Northwest. — Bruce Babbitt
![Endangered Species Quotes By Rita Mae Brown Endangered Species Quotes By Rita Mae Brown](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-rita-mae-brown-1699883.jpg)
I'm beginning to feel that the real endangered species on planet earth are not the whales and the elephants but those of us who can laugh at the world and ourselves ... I fear the dry turn of the American mind, this focus on the literal, as much as I fear our capacity for self-destruction. We've become hagridden by facts, obsessed with product instead of process. Where's the energetic wit, the looney outlook, the frivolity, the lightness of comforting laughter? It has become fashionable to know and unfashionable to feel, and you can't really laugh if you can't feel. — Rita Mae Brown

Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know. — Steve Irwin

![Endangered Species Quotes By Jonathan Ott Endangered Species Quotes By Jonathan Ott](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-jonathan-ott-1604381.jpg)
I firmly believe that contemporary spiritual use of entheogenic drugs is one of humankind's brightest hopes for overcoming the ecological crisis from which we threaten the biosphere and jeopardize our own survival, for Homo sapiens is close to the head of the list of endangered species. — Jonathan Ott

You can't hurt him. He's an endangered species!"
"Vampires are not endangered." Van's tone made it clear that it was his life's work to rectify this regrettable situation.
"No, not that," Zack said dismissively. "He's a Victorian!"
"Brainwashed," Van muttered.
"Crazy," Sarah proclaimed.
"Steampunk," I corrected with a sigh. — Helen Keeble

![Endangered Species Quotes By Jiddu Krishnamurti Endangered Species Quotes By Jiddu Krishnamurti](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-jiddu-krishnamurti-1808284.jpg)
One saw a bird dying, shot by a man. It was flying with rhythmic beat and beautifully, with such freedom and lack of fear. And the gun shattered it; it fell to the earth and all the life had gone out of it. A dog fetched it, and the man collected other dead birds. He was chattering with his friend and seemed so utterly indifferent. All that he was concerned with was bringing down so many birds, and it was over as far as he was concerned. They are killing all over the world. Those marvellous, great animals of the sea, the whales, are killed by the million, and the tiger and so many other animals are now becoming endangered species. Man is the only animal that is to be dreaded. — Jiddu Krishnamurti

It's Nixon who created the Environmental Protection Agency. Clean Air and Water Acts. Endangered Species Act. Promoted affirmative action. One could go on and on with Nixon as a New Deal liberal on domestic policy and a hawk, but one with great geo-political skills. — Douglas Brinkley

![Endangered Species Quotes By Rodger Kamenetz Endangered Species Quotes By Rodger Kamenetz](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-rodger-kamenetz-1541513.jpg)
Our ancient sources of wisdom call on human beings to rise to their highest capacity and behave in extraordinarily open and generous ways to one another, under difficult circumstances to transcend differences and create understanding across all barriers of convention and fear. This wisdom is fragile as our environment is fragile, threatened by an overwhelming material culture. I believe in a spiritual ecology. In today's world, Judaism and Tibetan Buddhism and other wisdom traditions are endangered species. — Rodger Kamenetz
![Endangered Species Quotes By Kim Stanley Robinson Endangered Species Quotes By Kim Stanley Robinson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-kim-stanley-robinson-1720683.jpg)
Each terrarium functions as an island park for the animals inside it. Ascensions cause hybridization and ultimately new species. The more traditional biomes conserve species that on Earth are radically endangered or extinct in the wild. Some terraria even look like zoos; more are purely wilderness refugia; and most mix parkland and human spaces in patterned habitat corridors that maximize the life of the biome as a whole. As such, these spaces are already crucial to humanity and the Earth. And — Kim Stanley Robinson
![Endangered Species Quotes By Barbara Kingsolver Endangered Species Quotes By Barbara Kingsolver](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-barbara-kingsolver-1522541.jpg)
According to Indian crop ecologist Vandana Shiva, humans have eaten some 80,000 plant species in our history. After recent precipitous changes, three-quarters of all human food now comes from just eight species, with the field quickly narrowing down to genetically modified corn, soy, and canola. If woodpeckers and pandas enjoy celebrity status on the endangered-species list (dubious though such fame may be), food crops are the forgotten commoners. We're losing them as fast as we're losing rain forests. An enormous factor in this loss has been the new idea of plant varieties as patentable properties, rather than God's gifts to humanity or whatever the arrangement was previously felt to be, for all of prior history. — Barbara Kingsolver
![Endangered Species Quotes By Gerard K. O'Neill Endangered Species Quotes By Gerard K. O'Neill](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-gerard-k-oneill-469939.jpg)
It is the hope of those who work toward the breakout from planet Earth that the establishment of permanent, self-sustaining colonies of humans off-Earth will ... make human life forever unkillable, removing it from the endangered species list, where it now stands on a fragile Earth overarmed with nuclear weapons. Second, the opening of virtually unlimited new land areas in space will reduce territorial pressures and therefore diminish warfare on Earth itself. — Gerard K. O'Neill

![Endangered Species Quotes By Geoff Dyer Endangered Species Quotes By Geoff Dyer](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-geoff-dyer-568043.jpg)
Not having children is seen as supremely selfish, as though the people having children were selflessly sacrificing themselves in a valiant attempt to ensure the survival of our endangered species and fill up this vast and underpopulated island of ours. — Geoff Dyer
![Endangered Species Quotes By Jonathan Franzen Endangered Species Quotes By Jonathan Franzen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-jonathan-franzen-565471.jpg)
Why the conservatives, who controlled all three branches of the federal government, were still so enraged
at respectful skeptics of the Iraq War, at gay couples who wanted to get married, at bland Al Gore and cautious Hillary Clinton, at endangered species and their advocates, at taxes and gas prices that were among the lowest of any industrialized nation, at a mainstream media whose corporate owners were themselves conservatives, at the Mexicans who cut their grass and washed their dishes
was somewhat mysterious to Walter. — Jonathan Franzen
![Endangered Species Quotes By Richard Di Natale Endangered Species Quotes By Richard Di Natale](https://quotessayings.net/pics/endangered-species-quote-by-richard-di-natale-558195.jpg)
We have environmental laws for a reason: to protect endangered biodiversity. And as a country that has one of the highest loss of species anywhere in the world, they're important. — Richard Di Natale

Bubble-gum angels swooped from top margins, or scraped their wings between teeming paragraphs. Maidens with golden hair dripped sea-blue tears into the books spine. Grape-colored whales spouted blood around a newspaper item (pasted in) listing arrivals to the endangered species list. Six hatchlings cried from shattered shells near an entry made on Easter. Cecilia had filled the pages with a profusion of colors and curlicues, Candyland ladders and striped shamrocks. — Jeffrey Eugenides

The way I see it, the world is divided into the watchers and the watchees, and there's more and more of the audience and less and less to see. People who actually do anything are a goddamned endangered species. — Lionel Shriver

It may be underfunded and at times mismanaged, but the [Endangered Species] Act is an unprecedented attempt to delegate human-caused extinction to the chapters of history we would rather not revisit: the Slave Trade, the Indian Removal Policy, the subjection of women, child labor, segregation. The Endangered Species Act is a zero-tolerance law: no new extinctions. It keeps eyes on the ground with legal backing-the gun may be in the holster most of the time, but its available if necessary to keep species from disappearing. I discovered in my travels that a law protecting all animals and plants, all of nature, might be as revolutionary-and as American-as the Declaration of Independence. — Joe Roman

When it comes to looking after all the species that are already endangered, there's such a lot to do that sometimes it might all seem to be too much, especially when there are so many other important things to worry about. But if we stop trying, the chances are that pretty soon we'll end up with a world where there are no tigers or elephants, or sawfishes or whooping cranes, or albatrosses or ground iguanas. And I think that would be a shame, don't you? — Martin Jenkins

It is not just bookstores and libraries that are disappearing but museums, theaters, performing arts centers, art and music schools - all those places where I felt at home have joined the list of endangered species. The San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe and my own hometown paper, The Washington Post, have all closed their weekend book review sections, leaving books orphaned and stranded, poor cousins to television and the movies. In a sign of the times, the Bloomberg News website recently transferred its book coverage to the Luxury section, alongside yachts, sports clubs and wine, as if to signal that books are an idle indulgence of the super-rich. But if there is one thing that should not be denied to anyone rich or poor it is the opportunity to dream. — Azar Nafisi

" I know," Alice sighed. "There's so much we humans have to learn. For starters, we have to stop taking habitat that doesn't belong to us. The animals could then reproduce and live healthy lives where they belong. — Karen Rieser

I think an erotics of place may be one of the reasons why environmentalists are seen as subversive. There is a backlash now: ... [ellipsis in source] take all the regulations away; weaken existing legislation; the endangered species act is too severe, too restrictive; let there be carte blanche for real-estate developers. Because if we really have to confront wildness, solitude, and serenity, both the fierceness and compassionate nature of the land, then we ultimately have to confront it in ourselves, and it's easier to be numb, to be distracted, to be disengaged. — Terry Tempest Williams

And so in 1975, the grizzly bear was put on, as I said - on the endangered species list as threatened. And new measures were taken, for instance, bear-proofing garbage, creating new regulations to - essentially to try and keep people and people's food away from the bears, let the bears adjust to eating the abundant wild food that's available in Yellowstone and allow them to be more wild, to be independent of humans as sources of foods for the good of both sides. And that has been quite successful. — David Quammen

Listing the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act could harm bear conservation efforts by eliminating revenues from the carefully-regulated sport hunting of polar bears by Americans and the importation of polar bear meat and trophies into the U.S. As hunting by non-Americans would replace hunting by Americans, nothing would be accomplished in terms of reducing the number of polar bears killed, but the revenue currently generated by American sport hunters for conservation and research efforts would be eliminated. — Amy Ridenour

If education really educates, there will, in time, be more and more citizens who understand that relics of the old West add meaning and value to the new. Youth yet unborn will pole up the Missouri with Lewis and Clark, or climb the Sierras with James Capen Adams, and each generation in turn will ask: Where is the big white bear? It will be a sorry answer to say he went under while conservationists weren't looking. — Aldo Leopold

Portland and Seattle and Vancouver, they were beautiful cities, with their own positive qualities . . . but what they weren't was infinitely capable of expansion. There were protected wetlands and forests to every side, mountain microclimates and endangered species under the protection of the federal government.
