In the words of E.O. Wilson,one of the most eminent biologists of our time, “conservation biology….is a discipline with a deadline.” Unfortunately money and power has trumped what President Theodore Roosevelt said when he stood at the edge of the Grand Canyon, gazing out at its magnificence and contemplating it fate, “leave it as it is.” But there are those out there like , Mr. Douglas Tallamy, a professor in the department of entomology and wildlife ecology at the University of Delaware , who are advocating for change in his book ,Nature’s Best Hope and his website, homegrown national park.org.

I wish that I could have met Gib. We need a hundred million Gib’s on this planet - time - now! Thank you for an enlightening discussion on our current situation and how we can navigate out of it.

A Buddhist approach to our view on life and our “plight” is very helpful in dealing with the challenges before us. Long live Gib! He is in our DNA with his knowledge and wisdom. Thanks for sharing it with us while you were living amongst us, Gib!
