Quotations: A SAND COUNTY ALMANAC by Aldo Leopold
Welcome fellow citizen of the earth! Discover a way of valuing the earth that can change the habitual way that considers land only in economic terms. Aldo Leopold died in 1948. Many consider him to be the father of wildlife ecology and modern conservation. His book, SAND COUNTY ALMANAC, remains as fresh as yesterday! Aldo’s selected quotations together with Toni’s photographs support an ethical and sustainable way to value the land and the sea. – Tim
“In short, a land ethic changes the role of Homo Sapiens from conqueror of the land community to plain member and citizen of it. – Aldo Leopold
“Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land.” – Aldo Leopold
“We can be ethical only in relation to something we can see, feel, understand, love, or otherwise have faith in.” – Aldo Leopold
“Land, then, is not merely soil, it is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soil, plants, and animals.” – Aldo Leopold
“That land is a community is the basic concept of ecology, but that land is to be loved and respected is an extension of ethics.” – Aldo Leopold
