"Saving species is more than just giving primacy to plants or animals over the uses of man. It's about functioning, viable ecosystems . . . the effort to protect endangered, threatened, and sensitive species is also an effort to protect the rivers, lakes, air, and land for all its uses, including our own . . . the balancing of resource use with environmental protection is stewardship."
