OUR PUBLIC LANDS ..
UNITED STATES D
"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 barmony with a friend; you cannot
cherish his right hand and chop off his left. That is to say,
you cannot love game and hate predators; you cannot conserve
the waters and waste the range; you cannot build the forest and
mine the farm. The land is one organism. Its parts, like
our own parts, compete with each other and cooperate with each
other. The competitions are as much a part of the inner work-
ings as the cooperations. You can regulate them cautiously
but not abolish them."

Aldo Leopold, edited by Luna B. Leopold,
Oxford University Press, 1953.)
