There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth, a geographic entity like no other.

The Everglades are a test. If we pass it, we may get to keep the planet.

The River of Grass, as I called it, was a river of life.

We have to protect what we have left. We have to protect it for the future.

The Everglades is a marvel, a miracle, a wonder.

Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land.

The Everglades is a national treasure. We must preserve it.

I have fought for the Everglades for so long because I believe in it. I believe in its beauty, its uniqueness, its importance.

The Everglades is not just a swamp. It is a living, breathing ecosystem.

We are all connected to the earth. What we do to the earth, we do to ourselves.

The Everglades is a place of wonder, a place of magic, a place of peace.

Never give up. Never surrender. Never stop fighting for what you believe in.

The Everglades is a symbol of hope, a symbol of resilience, a symbol of life.

We must learn to live in harmony with nature, not against it.

The Everglades is a gift. We must cherish it, protect it, and pass it on to future generations.

I have always believed that one person can make a difference. And I have tried to be that person.

The Everglades is a place of beauty, a place of mystery, a place of power.

We must speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

The Everglades is a unique and irreplaceable ecosystem. We must do everything we can to save it.

My life has been dedicated to the Everglades. It is my passion, my purpose, my legacy.
