Reading this quote I pictured a grey lifeless area that magically turned to color as soon as the brook trout was released. It's a beautiful thing to look at a positive change that was once thought to be impossible to do. This story of Sudbury, Ontario shows how logging and industrial pollution can degrade the biodiversity of life. From the producers to the consumers, there was a destruction that was not reversible until one person decided to make the change. This shows how powerful an individual can be with regards of change. This example can show others that they should not be afraid to try and change the ecosystem for the better. It is hard to change towards an eco-friendly life but in the long run it shows that it does change things. Therefore, one should change certain ways so they do not deplete their ecosystem just like the case in Ontario.

"And there is hope for wildlife, too. It was decided from the start that there should be clear distinction between land designated for human use, and land that would be most valuable set aside to ensure, for example, protection of the watershed, soil stability, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity." -Pg. 169
The theory of setting aside land for both human use and the natural ecosystem is a great proposal. When planning land for human use and biodiversity the consideration of population increase should be considered. For instance, if we have land for human use and then the population expands then we would take the land that was once set aside for biodiversity. Therefore, the proposal of population control is something that should be taken under consideration. This does not mean to prohibit someone from pregnancy, but educate both men and women about family planning and show them ways to protect themselves if they do not wish to have a child. This is just like the following section that speaks about The Importance of Women. However, just because we show them does not mean that we ourselves should not follow the same tasks. At the end it comes down to stability and balancing everything out. So as a population we should take these precautions.

"And," I said, "we must remember to thank the chimps. It was because of them that I came to Tanzania--and see what it has all led to!" -Pg. 172
It's incredible that the unknown has a journey that is thought to be intended for something else. Goodall would have never thought that this random project would have brought her to save the villages that were in dire need of help. She went there because of the chimps and she resulted with assisting villages. Who would have known that this would have transformed her life. Her journey was thought to be only assisting chimps but she performed something more grand than that. Therefore, we should learn that just because we want something to happen does not mean that destiny will play the same role. At times, we just have to go with our instinct and help with our first instinct. Don't hold yourself back because sometimes your journey is meant to be something that you never thought would happen.
