Humanity is a biological species, living in a biological environment, because like all species, we are exquisitely adapted in everything: from our behavior, to our genetics, to our physiology, to that particular environment in which we live. The earth is our home. Unless we preserve the rest of life, as a sacred duty, we will be endangering ourselves by destroying the home in which we evolved, and on which we completely depend.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. It argues that our existence is intricately tied to the environment we inhabit and the diverse web of life around us. By recognizing and respecting this interdependence, we have a responsibility to preserve and protect the planet and all forms of life that call it home. Failure to do so jeopardizes our own wellbeing as we rely on the Earth's resources and balance for our survival and continued evolution.
