Aldo Leopold foi um silvicultor, acadêmico, filósofo ambiental e conservacionista estadounidense, que, por seu extenso trabalho sobre a conservação da vida selvagem e dos espaços naturais, é considerado uma figura importante na história do conservacionismo e o fundador da ciência da conservação nos Estados Unidos.Pioneiro na elaboração de formulações éticas que buscam levar em consideração a comunidade biótica da Terra, Leopold influenciou profundamente o desenvolvimento da ética ambiental presente no movimento conservacionista. Após ter participado da fundação da The Wilderness Society, em 1935 adquiriu terras no interior do Wisconsin, nas quais pôs em prática suas inovadoras ideias sobre a restauração ecológica. Essas experiências seriam postumamente reunidas em sua obra mais importante, A Sand County Almanac. Wikipedia

Aldo Leopold: Frases em inglês

“When we hear [the crane’s] call we hear no mere bird. We hear the trumpet in the orchestra of evolution. He is the symbol of our untamable past, of that incredible sweep of millennia which underlies and conditions the daily affairs of birds and men.”

“All ethics so far evolved rest upon a single premise: that the individual is a member of a community of interdependent parts. … The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land. … A land ethic changes the role of Homo sapiens from conqueror of the land-community to plain member and citizen of it. It implies respect for his fellow-members, and also respect for the community as such.”

“I have read many definitions of what is a conservationist, and written not a few myself, but I suspect that the best one is written not with a pen, but with an axe. It is a matter of what a man thinks about while chopping, or while deciding what to chop. A conservationist is one who is humbly aware that with each stroke he is writing his signature on the face of his land.”

“Conservation is getting nowhere because it is incompatible with our Abrahamic concept of land. 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. There is no other way for land to survive the impact of mechanized man, nor for us to reap from it the aesthetic harvest it is capable, under science, of contributing to culture.”
