Aldo Leopold...

Important voice in the history of U.S. wilderness preservation, the land ethic, humans' humble role and insignificance as only a participant-- a small part-- of the larger ecosystem(s) in which humans exist, yet we frequently wreak terrific havoc and destructiveness upon it, through greed and/or ignorance.

Aldo Leopold challenged the ignorance-- effectively, passionately, tranformatively.
