We don’t own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife.
Steve Irwin

We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.
Steve Irwin

If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they love.
Steve Irwin

None of the three great apes is considered ancestral to modern man, Homo sapiens, but they remain the only other type of extant primate with which human beings share such close physical characteristics. From them we may learn much concerning the behavior of our earliest primate prototypes, because behavior, unlike bones, teeth, or tools, does not fossilize.
Dian Fossey

Cheetah genes cooperate with cheetah genes but not with camel genes, and vice versa. This is not because cheetah genes, even in the most poetic sense, see any virtue in the preservation of the cheetah species. They are not working to save the cheetah from extinction like some molecular World Wildlife Fund.
Richard Dawkins

The extraordinary gentleness of the adult male with his young dispels all the King Kong mythology.

My job, my mission, the reason I’ve been put onto this planet, is to save wildlife. And I thank you for comin’ with me. Yeah, let’s get 'em!

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a unique and biologically special place that should be preserved.
Dan Lipinski

Opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge stands to not only increase the United States' oil reserves by nearly 50 percent, but it will create thousands of good U.S. jobs.
Bob Ney

When wildlife damages agriculture we eliminate the wildlife. Rather we should eliminate agriculture when it damages wildlife.
James Cook

When economic modernizations come in, say goodbye to wildlife.

Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior.

The whole concept of 'wild' was decidedly European, one not shared by the original inhabitants of this continent. What we called 'wilderness' was to the Indian a homeland, 'abiding loveliness' in Salish or Piegan. The land was not something to be feared or conquered, and 'wildlife' were neither wild nor alien; they were relatives.
Doug Peacock

All I really wanted to do was wildlife photography.
Nigel Dennis

Dams have harmed our wildlife and made rivers less useful for recreation.
Stephen Ambrose
17.
If we drill the hell out of everything, including protected public lands and fragile regions like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, America can emerge as an 'energy superpower.'
Jeff Goodell
18.
The truth is that we will never save wildlife by killing it.
Steve Irwin
19.
Like the resource it seeks to protect, wildlife conservation must be dynamic, changing as conditions change, seeking always to become more effective.
Rachel Carson

Identity is such a crucial affair that one shouldn't rush into it.
David Quammen
21.
Wilderness without wildlife is just scenery.
Lois Crisler

I have a deep-seated respect for parrots. As gifted as I am with all other wildlife, parrots have this uncanny desire to kill me. I'm not sure why, but they're like my kryptonite!
Steve Irwin
23.
Until the day comes when the senseless killing ends, we will all have to fight like wildlife warriors to protect our precious planet.
Terri Irwin

Time is running out for nature and wildlife around the world
Jennifer Morgan

I weren't an actor, I'd be a wildlife biologist or forest ranger.
Ricky Schroder
26.
I am really sobered by what's happening to ecosystems around our planet and to the wildlife that is to be found there.
Jeff Corwin
27.
Where do we record the passing of wildlife? Who mourns the silent deaths of the small?
O.R. Melling
28.
If you can't excite people about wildlife, how can you convince them to love, cherish, and protect our wildlife and the environment they live in?
Steve Irwin
29.
My compulsion to always be working has become less strong and my current business is purely down to this enormous alimony. If I wasn't doing this I'd be making documentaries about wildlife and other subjects that interest me.
John Cleese

When I arrived on the planet, there were only two billion. Wildlife was more abundant, we were less so; now the situation is reversed.
Sylvia Earle

I love travelling and going on wildlife safaris. I have an interest in astronomy. I like reading on current affairs, business and science. I love doing nothing if I can help it.
Viswanathan Anand
32.
In most of the world, we have only small remnants of the wildlife that once existed. Africa has the most astonishing wildlife still.
Patrick Bergin
33.
I had travelled pretty widely around the world even before then, so I knew where to go to film wildlife.
Jim Fowler
34.
Wilderness is a resource which can shrink but not grow. Invasions can be arrested or modified in a manner to keep an area usable either for recreation, science or for wildlife, but the creation of new wilderness in the full sense of the word is impossible. It follows, then, that any wilderness program is a rearguard action, through which retreats are reduced to a minimum.
Aldo Leopold

We humans still have a long way to go with learning to live harmoniously with our environment and its wildlife.
Steve Irwin

Managing wildlife? It's wild! It don't need managing, leave it alone.
Russell Brand

It is our responsibility to help wildlife adapt to a changing climate.
Nikhil Advani

There is a lot of corruption all over the world and not only when it comes to illegal wildlife trade! There are a few ways to ensure this stops: If there are no customers, there will be no trade.
Jane Goodall

They say the oil spill has the potential to kill more wildlife than a Sarah Palin hunting trip.
David Letterman

In addition to tourism, it is essential to employ other ways to benefit more from the use of natural resources than from their destruction - from wildlife breeding operations to - yes - hunting of abundant species where viable.
David Jeremiah Barron
41.
We have found ways to capture, kill and market ocean wildlife on an unprecedented scale. It's an absolute catastrophe.
Sylvia Earle
42.
If we could just stop building up armies and things like that, we would have all the money we need for wildlife and poverty.
Jane Goodall
43.
I would never dream, for example, of going to The States to photograph your wildlife.
Nigel Dennis

I live on a canyon at the edge of San Mateo. We are fortunate to have lots of suburban wildlife as our neighbors, though I kind of wish the rattlesnakes would stop curling up by our back door.
Paul Saffo
46.
We are all going to die. When it happens in such a drastic, inhuman way, which we've been seeing in Africa, this is crime on its highest level. It is affecting not only the security of the national parks, it is affecting the people in communities that live around the national parks. In terms of security for wildlife and our society, it's an incredibly alarming situation, and we need to address that.
Veronika Varekova

Eating wildlife is probably not the smartest thing that we can do in terms of maintaining the integrity of natural systems.
Sylvia Earle

While endangering one of the most pristine areas in the world, drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would do nothing to make our country more energy independent.
Tom Daschle

You completely rediscovered & relived everything to do with wildlife.
