From Edward O. Wilson, world-renowned natural scientist and pioneer in efforts to preserve and protect global biodiversity:

There are three levels of biodiversity that we’re trying to save: ecosystems, then the species in the ecosystems, and then the genes that prescribe traits of the species that make up the ecosystem…

| And Biodiversity

Give me a land of boughs in leaf
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen, there is grief;
I love no leafless land.

…And one remembers, and one forgets,
But ’tis not found again,
Not though they hale in crimsoned nets
The sunset from the main.

-“Give me a land of boughs in leaf”
A.E. Housman
