Gerald Durrell Quotes:

Ocupation: Zookeeper

Life: January 7, 1925 - January 30, 1995

Birthday: January 7

Death: January 30

The great ecosystems are like complex tapestries - a million complicated threads, interwoven, make up the whole picture. Nature can cope with small rents in the fabric; it can even, after a time, cope with major disasters like floods, fires, and earthquakes. What nature cannot cope with is the steady undermining of its fabric by the activities of man.
