She writes: "Without hesitation, I support Voices for Biodiversity’s unique and innovative mission to help us better understand that we humans are only one of many species and not separate from local and global ecosystem. I am a regular visitor to Voices for Biodivrsity's website as it offers exceptionally well-written articles and beautiful, awe inspiring photo and videos. I believe that one of its most important contributions is the forum they provide for people — laypersons to professionals from a diversity of backgrounds — to freely exchange ideas. Hopefully, this inclusive kind of forum will pave the way for new leaders to carry on Voices for Biodiversity's efforts to enhance our relationships to other species and nature."
