Wade Davis believes that as individuals we have "an obligation to bear witness to the world," to keep our eyes, ears, and hearts open to other people's realities. By bearing witness, we cultivate a climate -- in our minds, communities, and societies -- that supports the social change process. Each time we become receptive to other worldviews we are actually changing our minds.

"I don't really believe that I can shift the current of history," he says. "But I'm going to make a stand, and I'm going to at least use the tools made available to me to try to tell these stories. People feel helpless, as if one person can make no difference, but the only difference is made one person at a time."
