"You know there's sort of this thought of like, oh, we're living in this wild, like paradise where there's, you know, all these, all these animals and they're doing so well and, and things like that but once you start looking a little bit deeper at some of these species, you start to realize that they're under threads from a lot of different sources, you know, human influence in this place is becoming greater, and greater and greater. It's kind of its own worst enemy. I mean, I think we're living in a time where people are trying to connect more to nature and want to find ways to, you know, find places of solitude and be able to be out nature and especially in, in huge tracks of like wilderness and untouched nature." ~Kristin Combs
