Quote by T. A. M Nash

“As increasing human population and fires from the savannah are continuously eating into the forest belt, it seems likely that the distribution of the forest members of the fusca group will continue to retract. In 1912 Simpson described how G. Fusca was found in Sierra Leone along a certain 37-mile stretch of road which ran through thickly wooded country skirting mountains densely clothed in thick forest; in 1946 I visited the area to find no fusca, but bare mountains, grassland, and only a few patches of low secondary thicket.”

“Earth Engineer (Sonnet 2336) Earth has abundant resources to suffice our need, but no planet has enough to suffice our greed. Earth is rich, earth is bountiful, like a doting mother, she provides for all her kids. There is no economic depression, only addiction of power and money. There is no population explosion, only outbreak of egocentricity. What's the point of your architecture or engineering degree, if you can't build a human habitat without destroying entire ecosystems of other living things! And you call yourself an engineer, an architect - a sparrow has more sense than a stupid earthling. Reach for the stars all you want, but anchor your soul in the soil. Human blood deficient of salt from earth, leads to a history of mental turmoil.”

“I'm not a vegetarian, I could eat anything if it's well cooked and tastes good, but preservation of wildlife is nonnegotiable, because it is only by preserving biodiversity, that we ensure a sustainable planet for humanity. It is one thing to consume animals for food, and another to destroy entire ecosystems for profit. There is nothing wrong in development, but development founded on destruction of nature, is the most expensive ticket to human extinction.”

“The Human Virus (Climate Summon) Mother Earth is a living organism, forests are the lungs of the planet, soil is the womb, oceans are blood - climate change is the planet having fever, in response to the human virus. Economy rooted in greed is not growth, religion rooted in dogma is not holy, innovation rooted in vanity is not science, abundance without wholeness ruins the society. Earth doesn't need our consent to wipe us out, any more than we asked permission from corona virus. Cosmos carries no fury like a mother done wrong - Mother brings us into the world, mother can take us out.”
