Quotes by Fred Pearce (?)

“Conservationists who want to cosset nature like a delicate flower, to protect it from the threat of alien species, are the ethnic cleansers of nature, neutralizing the forces that they should be promoting.”
― Fred Pearce, The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature's Salvation

“Conservationists, it seems, are dedicated to protecting the weak and vulnerable, the endangered and the abused. Nature generally promotes the strong and the wily, the resilient and versatile.”
― Fred Pearce, The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature's Salvation

“What can it mean, 150 years after Darwin, to say that some species or communities are good and some are bad?”
