Aldo Leopold Quotes - Page 8

• Las simplicidades elementales de los viajes por la naturaleza eran emocionantes. Representaban la libertad total de cometer errores. El desierto ofrecía recompensas y castigos por actos sabios y tontos contra los que la civilización ha construido miles de barreras.

• Hydrologists have demonstrated that the meanderings of a creek are a necessary part of the hydrologic functioning. The flood plain belongs to the river. The ecologist sees clearly that for similar reasons we can get along with less channel improvement on Round River.

• The most important characteristic of an organism is that capacity for internal self-renewal known as health. There are two organisms whose processes of self-renewal have been subjected to human interference and control. One of these is man himself (medicine and public health). The other is land (agriculture and coservation). The effort to control the health of land has not been very successful.

• Conservationists have, I fear, adopted the pedagogical method of the prophets: we mutter darkly about impending doom if people don't mend their ways. The doom is impending, all right; no one can be an ecologist, even an amateur one, without seeing it. But do people mend their ways for fear of calamity? I doubt it. They are more likely to do it out of pure curiosity and interest.

• Like all real treasures of the mind, perception can be split into infinitely small fractions without losing its quality.

• Two things hold promise of improving those lights. One is to apply science to land-use. The other is to cultivate a love of country a little less spangled with stars, and a little more imbued with that respect for mother-earth - the lack of which is, to me, the outstanding attribute of the machine-age.

• En tercer lugar, hay valor en cualquier experiencia que ejerza esas restricciones éticas llamadas colectivamente "deportividad". Nuestras herramientas para la persecución de la fauna salvaje mejoran más rápido que nosotros, y la deportividad es la limitación voluntaria en el uso de estos armamentos. Su objetivo es aumentar el papel de la habilidad y reducir el de los artilugios en la persecución de los animales salvajes.
