Qualities of heroism

Robert White personally knew Richard St. Barbe Baker. White said; “What gave him [Richard St. Barbe Baker] the urge to apply his energies not to conquering nature but to saving and restoring it? For that matter, what makes a Greenpeace activist risk his or her life for a whale, or a one-legged man run across Canada? Faith, courage, love, conviction – all the human qualities which our culture, trained to detached scientific rationalism and collective planning, leaves so little room for. These are qualities of heroism….His leadership and moral courage make it possible for all of us to apply knowledge, love and action in the service of the earth, for we are all children of the green earth. ” from “Knowledge, Love and Action”, Probe Post, Canada’s Environmental Magazine August 1982.

“The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. ” Wangari Maathai.

“The science of forestry arose from the recognition of a universal need. It embodies the spirit of service to mankind in attempting to provide a means of supplying forever a necessity of life and, in addition, ministering to man’s aesthetic tastes and recreational interests. Besides, the spiritual side of human nature needs the refreshing inspiration which comes from trees and woodlands. If a nations saves its trees, the trees will save the nation. And nations as well as tribes may be brought together in this great movement, based on the ideal of beautifying the world by the cultivation of one of God’s loveliest creatures – the tree.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker
