Aldo Leopold
The practices we now call conservation are, to a large extent, local alleviations of biotic pain. They are necessary, but they must not be confused with cures. The art of land doctoring is being practiced with vigor, but the science of land health is yet to be born.
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There

Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall
