To the countless thousands of field and lab workers
who have dedicated years and lifetimes
to the diligent and painstaking study
of each and every species, niche, relationship, and ecosystem on earth.
The information they have wrested from our natural surroundings
comes with a very heavy price tag of human effort, toil, and energy,
which they freely gave to give us
the priceless gifts of knowledge and understanding.
