How do you manage?

The real message is:
As spoken by Senegalese philosopher and environmentalist, Baba Dioum at a conference in New Delhi, India in 1968 held by the International Union for Conservation (IUCN)
There is no better time than now
In the end, we will conserve only what we love; love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught.
