“Indigenous and local communities are custodians of natural resources and their conservation practices are key to sustainable future."”

“Conservation is by the people.”

“Our scientists, I think the primary thing they need to do is provide them information about what's changing and why, and together with them form solutions because they know what they need to do. So working together is always the best tip.”

“You have to really love the work, you may hate the job but you really have to love what you are doing to stay.”

“What does it do for the environment to have fish there, what does it do for the people there, why should we conserve it.”

“The importance of this book is to show people that when you conserve water sources and wetlands you are also conserving the fishes there, with the livelihoods of those who depend on it.”
