| Re: How to Promote Conservation?
Very poignant and so relevant. What is needed, is a voice that excites youngsters and makes them want to go out there and make a difference. Steve Irwin did that. Bill Oddie certainly inspired a friends 6 year old to become an enthusiastic wildlife fan. We all have our parts to play too. Amber and I have no children, nor plan to. But on a recent mammal/wildlife walk around a local park, a small boy, Sam, followed me everywhere, as I pointed out grasshoppers, butterflies etc to him. His eyes lit up, and he constantly called his parents along to see!
We all are guardians for the future, and must bring along the next generation too. |
