And that’s what missing. A lot of the information that we learned in universities, you don’t learn communication and universities. That’s the problem. That’s why many scientists are focused on the details and information, but not so much on how it affects your life. You have to learn how to… Read More
You have to learn about what the messages of the 21st century are?… Read More
So I’ve been working a lot on that. So anyway, education if I’m not mistaken, has to really affect your life. If it’s gonna educate you. So we gotta start learning the difference. Read More
That has to happen. And I think zoological parks have to open up. Education is a very ambiguous term. I’d like to comment on the difference between information and education for a minute. It’s very important. We humans are so good at information, and the reason is, when we get… Read More
We humans are incredibly powerful in doing this. We can research, we can come up with the facts, biodiversity, the miracles of nature. We build a system that goes to the moon based on facts and reality of what we’ve learned. But I don’t see that as necessarily being education. Read More
And I would recommend the zoological parks look into this, because I’ve had a chance to design some arguments. You have to have strong arguments in the 21st century. Read More
Why is open space, wildlife and wilderness important to people lives?… Read More
Now, I’ve never heard any major conservation organization and maybe I’ve missed it, but I’ve never heard a zoological park focus when you go through and see an exhibit, why is that important to humans?… Read More
And if we can’t tell people at a zoological park, what’s in it for humans, we’re gonna miss it. I’m a little disappointed in the last 40 years that I’ve been active. Read More
Why hasn’t things changed?… Read More
Why isn’t the public more interested than they are in the reality of wildlife, wilderness and open space?… Read More
Why is it that a survey was done two years ago by a group that said that less than five percent. Sorry. (clears throat) These survey found out that less than 5% of the American public spend more than a half an hour a year thinking about the welfare of… Read More
And this is the big point. Read More
If we’re gonna talk about how the earth works, if we’re gonna talk about the natural world, wildlife, wilderness and open space, we have got to connect it with how does it benefit our lives, human welfare?… Read More
Unfortunately, a human being is pretty interested in what’s in it for us?… Read More
And they do talk. The St. Louis Zoo is a good example. They have a big Nature Science Center at the St. Louis Zoo, and they talk about biodiversity, the miracles of nature, all these things that are wonderful to know about. But there’s something missing. And I’m hoping to… Read More
So there are missions and I wanna talk about that a little bit of what the mission of zoological park should be. The overall mission should be that they should reconnect families and children back with the importance of the natural world, open space, wildlife and wilderness. But it’s not… Read More
And the reason is this, we have failed to connect what you see in the zoological park with why is that important to human welfare?… Read More
How can zoos assist in that?… Read More
Oh, boy! I’m gonna talk a little bit about how zoos can assist in the right kind of mission that affects public’s and wants people to get back involved with the world and nature. Well, it’s time that… Zoos have evolves in their missions. There was a time when obviously… Read More
