We have forgotten that we are connected to all of our relations on earth, not just our human family. We have forgotten that we have responsibilities to all these relations, just as we have them to our human family.
Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land. By land is meant all of the things on, over or in the earth. Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.”
Aldo Leopold
