Goodall

I really enjoyed reading Goodall’s sections; she gave good examples of how bad things can be turned into good. One main quote that showed this was “it is living proof that the rehabilitation of a man-made wasteland is not possible, but can be accomplished with sound organic principles.” The example from this quote was the wasteland in Kenya that was turned into “paradise”. There are a lot of problems in the world today like large amount of pollution in the air, but it is not impossible to eliminate problems like this. I believe if things like Goodall’s Kenya project can work, then why not do something now in America. Goodall’s next quote was "there has been devastating destruction of habitats across the country. And having harmed so much of her own environment, China, desperate to acquire materials such as timber and minerals to sustain her economic growth, is plundering the natural resources of other countries. Especially in Africa where many politicians are willing to sell off the future of their children to make a quick buck" China holds a lot of the world’s population today and they also serve as a main provider that helps America and this world prosper. Rod Sayler also came to play in these sections and his quote “if we allow extinction to happen through ignorance or greed, then with the loss of each endangered species and unique population, our world becomes less diverse and strikingly less beautiful and mysterious. Our oceans, grasslands, and forests will echo with silence, and the human heart will know that something is missing--but it will be too late.” I do agree with Rod, we are eliminating species by knocking down their ecosystems for our personal pleasures.

 Jane Goodall is really famous for her many works, one in particular was with her chimps.
