"世间所有生命形式都和我们人类一样，也有着数十亿年的进化历程。作为人类，我们应当庆幸自己的好运，要善待上苍馈赠给我们的生存环境和陪伴我们的世间各种生命形式，尊重大自然岁月历程的造化之物，共同维护好地球这一宇宙诺亚方舟。对大自然原创的尊重程度就是生态文明的体现！" 在龙勇诚心中，滇金丝猴是世间动物最美和宇宙间最像人的生灵。而他也被亲切地称作“滇金丝猴之父”。
"All life forms on earth have evolved over billions of years, just as we have. As human beings, we should congratulate ourselves on our good fortune, treat kindly the living environment given to us by God and the various life forms in the world that accompany us, respect the things created by the course of time of nature, and jointly safeguard the earth--the Noah's ark of the universe. Respect for the originality of nature is the embodiment of ecological civilization!"
