Document Summary

It is inconceivable to me that an ethical relaionship to land can exist without love, respect and admiraion for land, and a high regard for it"s value. -philosophical value. Aldo leopold: wrote the books game management and sand county almanac and. He use to shoot wolves" for the government (diference b/w law vs morality) . This led him to write his book what would the mountain think? . Wildlife management did not involve brutal killing of species- but infact they embrace the bioic community- taking a step closer towards the evoluion of ethics. Green ire from the wolf incident- led him to believe that what he was doing was not right. This led him to think of the bioic community collecively rather then individual species: killing wolves->overpopulated with dears->over-graze trees on the mountaig- All ethics rest upon a single premise: individual is a member of a community.
