If the world does well, gold will be fine. If the world doesn't do well, gold will also do fine... but a lot of other things could collapse.

If you want psychic gratification, one of the greatest ways is to know that you've made a real contribution to saving a species from blinking out during your lifetime.

I've reached a point where I feel the only asset I have confidence in is gold.

Getting to the point where a cause goes from being a terribly daunting task with a handful of adherents to an acknowledged success with momentum and many allies is a rarity.

To those who have always wondered how they might best serve the wider world, wildlife conservation is, at its core, one of the purest forms of giving.

I am a businessman because I am good at business. But big cats are my first love.

Whatever you are doing in life, you have to build a high-class vehicle to deliver your vision.

People need to look at wildlife conservation in its totality. As soon as you lose the apex predator, it has harmful consequences right down the food chain.

If I am right about the big picture, I will be rewarded for my patience.
