"We hope that there will be fireflies and glow-worms at night to guide you and butterflies in the hedges and forests to greet you.  We hope that your dawns will have an orchestra of bird song and that the sound of their wings....will dazzle you.

We hope that there will still be extraordinary varieties of creatures sharing the land of the planet with you to enchant you and enrich your lives as they have done for us."
