In his words:

"My real goal in life is to travel the world and to learn about the incredible variety of creatures that fill it. When you start to learn about these beasts, you start to care about them.

That is what I hope to pass on to you, the notion that planet Earth was not designed for human beings to rule. We are just one of the many incredible by-products of evolution, like all the plants and animals and one-celled doo-dads that surround us. I'm not going to start hugging trees right here in front of you, but I do believe that we can consider the rest of our kin, the community of life, when we make our everyday decisions.

Many species have come and gone before us, and many more will come and go after us, I assure you. Even if we manage to accidentally wipe out 99% of life on this planet, including ourselves, life and evolution will go on. Still, it seems a shame to allow that to happen, to so rapidly undo what nature has taken hundreds of millions of years to come up with.

So I'm here to tell you, it doesn't have to happen. If you care, you can and will make a difference.

I think these critters are pretty neat, and definitely worth keeping around.

Hopefully you will too."
