The truth is that some of Mississippi’s greatest advocates for conservation and habitat protection are the sportsmen and hunters. Our state’s beautiful and abundant natural lands are enhanced, protected and paid for in large part by those who enjoy hunting. Cindy Hyde-Smith
Chaos is my natural habitat. I write about chaotic situations and about people finding their way through the chaos, the hope that you can find your way. Abi Morgan
Being on the road is a great habitat for creating new music because there’s so many different experiences. Kip Moore
It’s something that I’ve always done. I started singing when I was four years old; that was the first time I took a voice lesson. I would say, maybe from five years on, I sang on stages constantly. That’s what I call my natural habitat: It’s a place where I feel most like myself and the most confident, the most excited. Cassadee Pope
We should continue to mobilise against the destruction of the world’s great habitats, and its terrifying implications. But the most persuasive argument we can make is to show we mean it, by restoring our own lost wonders. George Monbiot
The mountain gorilla faces grave danger of extinction – primarily because of the encroachments of native man upon its habitat – and neglect by civilized man, who does not conscientiously protect even the limited areas now allotted for the gorilla’s survival. Dian Fossey
People habitat has to take priority over bird habitat. Byron Dorgan
The more we heat up the planet, the more it costs all of us, not just in money, but in colossal famines, displacements, deaths, and species extinctions, as well as in the loss of some of the things that make this planet a blue-green jewel, including its specialized habitats from the melting Arctic to bleaching coral reefs. Rebecca Solnit
Research gathered over recent years has highlighted the countless benefits to people, wildlife and the environment that come from planting trees and creating new woodland habitat. It’s obvious trees are good things. Clive Anderson
If you look at the carrying capacity of agricultural areas throughout the world, their ecological habitats are changing. So I think we’re looking at – in our lifetime – great collapses of food services. Dan Barber
We have been working with Habitat for Humanity and we have built eighty homes, 80% of which are being lived in by New Orleans’ musicians. It is called the Musicians’ Village and at the center is the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music. Harry Connick, Jr.
The only way we can reduce the number of these endangered species is to improve and provide additional habitat where they can live and reproduce. Lorne Greene
Ants are the dominant insects of the world, and they’ve had a great impact on habitats almost all over the land surface of the world for more than 50-million years. E. O. Wilson
I would say, maybe from five years on, I sang on stages constantly. That’s what I call my natural habitat: It’s a place where I feel most like myself and the most confident, the most excited. Cassadee Pope
The natural habitat of the tongue is the left cheek. Red Smith
Centuries-old habitats such as coral gardens are destroyed in an instant by bottom trawls, pulverized by weighted nets into barren plains. And global carbon dioxide emissions from human activity affect the ocean, changing the pH balance of the waters in a phenomenon known as ocean acidification. Ted Danson
The most attractive habitats for synthetic sentience might be the vicinities of exceptional sources of energy – for example black holes, or even the neighbourhoods of large stars, which routinely boil off the energy of ten thousand suns. These are the destinations they may seek. Seth Shostak
What we should be doing is saving habitats, not single species, no matter what their cuteness factor. John Burnside
Conserving habitats is a wellspring for the next industrial revolution. Janine Benyus
The greatest responsibility of the planner and architect, I believe, is the protection and development of our habitat. Walter Gropius
The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us. E. O. Wilson
The social brain is in its natural habitat when we’re talking with someone face-to-face in real time. Daniel Goleman
For example, in my district there are visitors from all over the world who are drawn to our beautiful beaches, recreational lakes, habitat wildlife preserves and golf courses. Mark Foley
Oceans are one of the most important things in the world now and that is a national security threat of the United States of America, to be honest with you. That is why seeing the habitat destroyed is so short-sighted by us. Ian Somerhalder
What is a fish without a river? What is a bird without a tree to nest in? What is an Endangered Species Act without any enforcement mechanism to ensure their habitat is protected? It is nothing. Jay Inslee
With nine degrees of warming, computer models project that Australia will look like a disaster movie. Habitats for most vertebrates will vanish. Water supply to the Murray-Darling Basin will fall by half, severely curtailing food production. Jeff Goodell
There are many ways in which man thoughtlessly destroys wildlife habitat. Lorne Greene
A lot of animals are finding themselves in positions where their habitats are being destroyed. Teddy Geiger
At heart, human beings are what we may call ‘generalists,’ who have the ability to adapt their internal ‘software programs’ to different habitats or situations. Bret Weinstein
The Elgin Marbles were supposed to be on the Parthenon. For many works of art, a museum is an artificial setting – a zoo, not a natural habitat. Virginia Postrel
I can’t think of anything I regret. Everything I’ve done, I’ve enjoyed doing. I’ve had five husbands, four children. I’ve done it all, but mainly I’ve enjoyed studying fish and being underwater with them, being in their natural habitat, looking at the fish and the fish looking at me. Eugenie Clark
Conservation of any endangered species must begin with stringent efforts to protect its natural habitat by the enforcement of rigid legislation against human encroachment into parks and other game sanctuaries. Dian Fossey
So much of the habitat destruction and pollution is based on the simple principle that we somehow have been given free license over other species to degrade the planet. Greg Graffin
The industrial way we fish for seafood is harming the marine habitats that all ocean life depends upon. Indiscriminate commercial fishing practices that include miles of driftnets, long lines with thousands of lethal hooks and bottom trawls are ruining ocean ecosystems by killing non-seafood species, including sea turtles and marine mammals. Ted Danson
There are some who would like to see the oil rigs removed right down to the ground once their job is done, and there are others, and I count myself among them, who think that once they are in place they begin to be adopted by life in the ocean as a habitat. Sylvia Earle
When I’m not shooting, I love going on adventures with friends. I love zip-lining through rainforests and different natural habitats, and I love writing music on the side, and I love drinking coffee. I’m a big coffee drinker and go to a lot of cafes and stuff. Max Schneider
The gutter is Bertie Ahern’s natural habitat. Leo Varadkar
One researcher just determined that African and Indian elephants make each other sick. When a new animal or plant is introduced to a habitat bad things happen. The biggest danger to native wildlife is foreign wildlife. Robert T. Bakker
Hunted for sport by the rich, then driven from large tracts of its natural habitat by agricultural and housing development, the giant panda deserves better than to be scrubbed from conservation’s ledger books through false accounting. John Burnside
I believe that mycelium is the neurological network of nature. Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitats with information-sharing membranes. These membranes are aware, react to change, and collectively have the long-term health of the host environment in mind. Paul Stamets
Together we are stronger, our voices louder, and the synergy of our actions more powerful. Together we can prevail on the Navy to put commonsense safeguards in place, like requiring its ships to avoid the most sensitive marine mammal habitats and to stop their training exercises during peak migrations. Pierce Brosnan
There is an urgent need for regeneration of fisheries and fostering a sustainable fisheries programme. What I mean is, designing new fishing vessels and nets so that they do not disrupt the fish lifecycle by catching young ones and also do not destroy sea grass beds, which serve as habitats for dugongs. M. S. Swaminathan
It turns out that there are swaths of habitat in the north of Siberia and Yukon that actually could house a mammoth. Remember, this was a highly plastic animal that lived over tremendous climate variation. Hendrik Poinar
My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it’s just kind of been like my habitat. Bruno Mars
I’ve been shooting with this gentle beast of an elephant for my film ‘Haathi Mere Saathi.’ During the shoot, I got to know of the various problems they face. We got in touch with a few volunteers who are helping conserve the tusker’s habitats and water reservoirs. Pulkit Samrat
Habitats keep evolving new pageants of species, and we shouldn’t interfere. Diane Ackerman
As the oceans get hotter, corals also become heat-stressed and expel the algae that live on their skeletons, resulting in coral bleaching events that can wipe out entire reefs. This destroys the habitat that supports a quarter of all marine life. Barry Gardiner
I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that’s habitat destruction. Steve Irwin
The most important thing is to preserve the world we live in. Unless people understand and learn about our world, habitats, and animals, they won’t understand that if we don’t protect those habitats, we’ll eventually destroy ourselves. Jack Hanna
No longer do companies study consumers’ psyches only by asking people what they think about technology and how they use it. Now they conduct observational research, dispatching anthropologists to employ their ethnographic skills by interviewing, watching and videotaping consumers in their natural habitats. Katie Hafner
Habitat for Humanity is making Cleveland better every day. Rob Portman
As our focus turns to the oceans and the seemingly impossible task of repairing our marine habitat, we could look at Everest as a fine example of turning back the clock. Ben Fogle
Climate change, habitat destruction, extinctions – the Earth has seen it all before, thousands of years ago. And humans may have been partly to blame for many of those changes in nature, too. Tatiana Schlossberg
In many countries, wind turbines pose the single greatest threat to bats after habitat loss and white-nose syndrome. Michael Shellenberger
It’s a fair guess that at the rate we’re destroying habitat, especially but not exclusively in the tropics, we’re pushing to extinction about one species every hour. That doesn’t count the species whose populations are being reduced so greatly that diversity within the population is essentially gone. Donella Meadows
When a parasite moves to a new habitat, it can find new hosts through a process called the trans-species jump. Often, the new host has no resistance; it and the parasite haven’t had time to adjust to each other through natural selection (it is frequently not in the best interest of a parasite to kill its host quickly). Richard Preston
Global climate change has become entangled with the problem of invasive species. A warmer climate could allow some invaders to spread farther, while causing native organisms to go extinct in their traditional habitats and making room for invaders. Richard Preston
Climate change makes machine learning that much more valuable, too: So much of the data available to scientists is not necessarily accurate anymore, as animals move their habitats, temperatures rise and currents shift. As species move, managing populations becomes even more critical. Tatiana Schlossberg
I’ve always been such a fan of Habitat for Humanity and the work that they do. Lea Michele
We’re shaking loose viruses and dislodging them from their natural ecological limitations, places where they aren’t very abundant and have competition, even within a single animal. We introduce them into a new, rich habitat called the human population, where they can flourish more abundantly and cause more trouble. David Quammen
The model of the human habitat dictated by zoning is a formless, soul-less, centerless, demoralizing mess. It bankrupts families and townships. It disables whole classes of decent, normal citizens. It ruins the air we breathe. It corrupts and deadens our spirit. James Howard Kunstler
I have worked with Habitat for Humanity for awhile. Harry Connick, Jr.
The limits of sensory evolution in fish are defined very largely by their habitat. Water is physically supportive, carries some kinds of odour well, and is kind to sound – letting it travel several times faster than air will allow, but it inhibits other more personal kinds of communication. Lyall Watson
Captain Falco saw the diminishment of biodiversity in our oceans over a span of nearly seven decades. He was dedicated to the protection of life and habitats in the sea. He was a legendary mariner, diver, oceanographer, and conservationist. The world is a better place because of him. Paul Watson
At the end of the day, my natural habitat is in a car and I am happiest in that environment. Maria de Villota
Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home. John Dewey
Species are going extinct because of habitat loss and warming. I feel deeply responsible and think about it every day. Peter Heller
Our aim is to open access to a wealth of previously unexplored mineral resources on lifeless rocks hurling through space, without damaging natural habitats. Etienne Schneider
When people encroach on forest land and in the periphery of habitats of wild animals, they attack humans. Raj Thackeray
The successful establishment of a buffer zone around Fort Carson will provide an example for other bases around the country as we seek to protect the training mission of the U.S. military while preserving critical habitats on our ranges. Wayne Allard
In every aspect of my life, I live under the protection of and in accordance to the laws of this nation. At the end of the day, it’s a wildlife biological fact and a conservation fact that the game must be managed. There’s only so much habitat, i.e. food, out there. Shawn Michaels
The rhino is now more or less extinct, and it’s not because of global warming or shrinking habitats. It’s because of Beyonce’s handbags. Morrissey
I don’t get on with novelists, don’t enjoy their company. Once you’ve worked for a publisher, you understand the species, see them in their natural habitat, and it’s not always pretty. Neil Cross
Humans are an infant species, a mere 150,000 years old. But, armed with a massive brain, we’ve not only survived, we’ve used our wits to adapt to and flourish in habitats as varied as deserts, Arctic tundra, tropical rainforests, wetlands and high mountain ranges. David Suzuki
We know about man’s impact on the ocean in terms of fishing and overfishing, but we don’t really know much about what’s happening underneath the water. And in fact, shipping has a role to play here, because shipping noise has contributed to damaging the acoustic habitats of ocean creatures. Rose George
The cost of our success is the exhaustion of natural resources, leading to energy crises, climate change, pollution, and the destruction of our habitat. If you exhaust natural resources, there will be nothing left for your children. If we continue in the same direction, humankind is headed for some frightful ordeals, if not extinction. Christian de Duve
When our natural habitats become overrun by species that are not native to these areas, they can damage the environment, pose health risks, and even hurt our local economy. Elise Stefanik
Zoos are becoming facsimiles – or perhaps caricatures – of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all. Michael J. Fox
Fungi are the grand recyclers of the planet and the vanguard species in habitat restoration. Paul Stamets
Habitat for wildlife is continually shrinking – I can at least provide a way station. Peter Coyote
