Who is Aldo Leopold?
Among many things, Leopold was a conservationist and writer. One of his best known ideas is the land ethic, which calls for an ethical, caring and interconnected relationship between people and nature.
“When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect... We are all part of the thinking community that needs to shape a land ethic for the 21st century and beyond... To do that, we must engage in thoughtful dialog with each other, inviting a diversity of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. Together, we can form a land ethic that can be passed down to future generations."
~Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, 1949
