Aldo Leopold

"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise."

"Is education possibly a process of trading awareness for things of lesser worth? The goose who trades his is soon a pile of feathers."

"Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land."

"Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left."

"We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."

"Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land."
