HABITAT

World Habitat Day - 1st Monday in October

* "Our work seeks to focus attention on the necessity of developing security for the global village, meeting its need for clean air, water, food and a healthy habitat, as well as fostering clarity of vision on cooperation and development."
-- Rosalie Bertell

A world free of the threat of nuclear weapons is necessarily a world devoid of nuclear weapons…. Nuclear weapons pose an intolerable threat to humanity and our habitat….
-- General Lee Butler

“Habitat gives us an opportunity which is very difficult to find: to reach out and work side by side with those who never have had a decent home—but work with them on a completely equal basis. It’s not a big-shot, little-shot relationship. It’s a sense of equality."
-- Jimmy Carter

Nature is the mother and the habitat of man,
even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.

-- John Dewey

Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures -
of how animals once were in their natural habitat.
If the right policies toward nature were pursued,
we would need no zoos at all.
~Michael J. Fox

There would be very little point in my exhausting myself and other conservationist themselves in trying to protect animals and habitats if we weren’t at the same time raising young people to be better stewards.
~ Jane Goodall

 

I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing,
and that's habitat destruction.
-- Steve Irwin

"The current massive degradation of habitat and extinction of species
is taking place on a catastrophically short timescale,
and their effects will fundamentally reset the future evolution of the planet's biota."
-- National Academy of Sciences

Our aim is to convince the world's leaders that our cities,
towns and villages need to be healthy, safe, just and sustainable.
-- Wally N'Dow

…The environmental future of the planet is closely linked to the management of our cities, towns and villages.
…Good environmental governance requires good urban governance and vice versa.
-- Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka Executive Director of UN-HABITAT

…We are in the business of promoting a culture of solidarity and inclusiveness in all human settlements.
Cities will not become liveable places without learning
from the solidarity which is practised in villages where everyone is provided for, however modestly.
-- Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka Executive Director of UN-HABITAT

"Without habitat, there is no wildlife. It's that simple."
- Wildlife Habitat Canada

“The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct
is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats.
This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us.”
-- Edward O. Wilson

It is upsetting that many people don’t seem to observe what’s happening to the environment, what’s happening in terms of global warming, the loss of habitats and wild things.
-- Joanne Woodward
