What we know about elephants today is incredible,They are like people.

My job is to just bring sanity to the protection of our natural heritage.

If we’re going to do conservation in Africa, we have to be audacious. We’ve got to be courageous, and we’ve got to think big.

We have to tell stories that make people fall in love with wildlife. You don't protect what you don't love, and you can't love what you don't know. That's why we make 'Wildlife Warriors'—to show the beauty and the drama of our natural world.

We are in a crisis. We are losing species not in the future, but right now. We are the last generation that can save these animals. There is no plan B because there is no planet B.
