Each generation decides what it values.

Each generation can determine what we consider to be beautiful on the one hand, or unacceptable or immoral on the other.
每一代人都可以衡量出一方面什么是美好的，另一方面什么又是不可接受和不道德的。
We can act in solidarity with those fighting poaching and trafficking in their communities.

Let us not tell our children the sad tale of how we watched as the last elephants, rhinos and tigers died out,
让我们不要把悲伤的故事告诉我们的孩子，我们是怎样看着最后的大象、犀牛和老虎死去的。
