Let me explain the physical laws of nature deal with things like, oh, they’re also chemical laws. But the physical laws of nature deal with things like the underground water systems and the theory of isostasy (coughs) which is, excuse me. The theory of isostasy is the physical movement of… Read More
That’s very key just to survive a life on earth. One of the other things that we have to start focusing on, is that life on earth is made possible by six inches of topsoil and rain. Without that you won’t have much life on the planet. So rain and… Read More
We never talk about that after we get out of the universities because it’s communication and you don’t get a job in communication, necessarily. You get jobs in management, in research if you’re in our field. But you’re really not taught to communicate ’cause it’s hard to get jobs. Just… Read More
Okay?… Read More
Now, if we’re gonna communicate, we have to train people to learn how, as I was saying, learn how to use television, use the media and how to communicate the right messages without annoying people. You can’t come out and say, the world’s gonna end, global warming is gonna raise… Read More
And maybe I have said that in some places we’re coming to the very close to the, what we call the tipping point. Read More
By the way, let me correct a couple of things, ’cause this brings up the question, what are the main missions of science and what are the main subjects that we should talk about in zoological parks or among ourselves, or even on talk shows?… Read More
There’s something that’s being left out, and there’s a good reason for it. In universities we learned a little bit about the laws of nature that support life on the planet. Read More
We’re pretty good at teaching some of those things, but guess what?… Read More
Is this irreversible?… Read More
What can be done to stop the destruction of open spaces and natural habitat?… Read More
Well, first of all, I never… You were saying that I said that there were hotspots were disappearing and all that. I’ve never really said that, I’ve said that we’re in danger of losing some of the open space we still have left on earth. No, there’s still a great… Read More
I don’t say that it’s all gone, but there are some ways that we have to get out to the public to let them know I think what some of the solutions are?… Read More
How many cars go down 95 each year?… Read More
And you can show that, but you also have to do things that’ll hold the tourists for a short while up there, rather than all going down to Disney World. So it gets complicated and I’m still working on some of the… I still have some good possibilities of doing… Read More
You’ve had in your career a number of quotes that you’ve talked about. I’d like ask you about a couple of them. Okay. [Mark] You claimed that the hotspots have been destroyed and there’s almost no wildlife. Read More
That’s really what happened. So that one didn’t really pan out completely. I had control of the design for awhile, but I’m the kind of guy that doesn’t give up. I was almost completely designed a park in Brunswick, Georgia called Life in the Wild. And that was also a… Read More
It’s still possible. But I… So I’m sort of stubborn. I used to keep working away because I believe so strongly in there’s another way to present animals to the public than just an urban zoo. We’ve got to learn to do something that will compete with shopping malls. By… Read More
What about wild animal park in Bonifay, Florida?… Read More
I’m pretty stubborn, and I’ve always wanted to do one of the big parks and this always been a challenge for financing. The one in Bonifay, Florida, we had 2000 acres and we had a wonderful situation. It was on I-10, and there were several mistakes made with that in… Read More
