 Today is a day to celebrate the diversity and majesty of Planet Earth, even though now is a very tenuous time in Earth's long history. We're in bad shape, having misused and abused natural habitats and species for decades, really centuries. But today is not about the past, it is a day to think about the future, about what we can and need to do to protect species and wild habitats. As has been said, "Nature doesn't need us, but we need nature." Nature does need us to do more to protect these special places and species, many of which I have had the pleasure to visit and explore. We need to act, now, before it is too late. So today, think about our Mother Earth, celebrate this amazing planet, while at the same time think about what you can do to protect this amazing place we all call home. Happy Earth Day! Oh, and this week is National Park Week as well, so it is time to celebrate these amazing places we call national parks.
