Don't think in terms of comfort; think in terms of freedom. Don't think in terms of safety, think in terms of being more alive.

Bryant Terry

An agricultural landscape produces food but it also provides water, requires biodiversity to underpin soil function, pollination and other useful services, and also has value to society in terms of aesthetics and recreation

Tim Benton

Apex predators are good for an environment in terms of biodiversity and trophic cascade - we have very few. But realistically, only a few areas could sustain free-roaming wolves in Britain, mostly in Scotland.

Guilherme Leal
