We are the most dangerous species of life on the planet and every other species including the earth itself has cause to fear our power to exterminate, we are also the only species that when it chooses to do so will go to great effort to save what it chooses to destroy.

- Wallace Steigner

From Ken Burns, The National Parks - America's Best Idea.

True. very true. In regards to one another and to the world around us.

Another lovely quote:

Be guardians as opposed to gardeners.

This is a lovely documentary. And the cinematography and photos are breathtaking. If you ever get the chance to rent this - I highly recommend. I did not see all of it, but have seen enough.

Particularly the colored pictures and film at the very end. Was quite struck with Friday's episode or the conclusion.

Yes, it would be nice to think that we're finally getting it right - especially in regards to the wolf. And that we can keep the Parks open and beautiful for the next generation.
