Another world, another planet. The law of the jungle in the wilderness seems so much more peaceful and friendly than the law of the jungle that is prevailing in the world that we so self-righteously call the "civilized' world.

Quote from "Will a Highway Destroy the Serengeti?'
"A commercial highway would be the end of the great migration as we know it. The ecosystem would become fragmented in a critical, narrow path of the migration.
"
"We are in a decisive phase of conservation in East Africa. The Serengeti ecosystem is the icon of our world's great protected areas, and we need to build a strong presence to keep it alive."
Can we even hope to finally beat the human predators and save the earth from corporate destruction?
