Introduction to Leopold

Aldo leopold (1887 65438+1October1-65438+April 2 1), a scientist and environmentalist with international prestige in the United States, is known as the "prophet" of American new protectionist activities and the new environment in the United States.

He is also an observer, a keen thinker and a literary master with profound attainments. He published three books and about 500 articles in his life, most of which were related to science and technology. The Yearbook of Shaxiang is the author's collection of natural prose and philosophical prose, and it is also the pioneering work of land ethics.

Aldo leopold first put forward the concept of land isomorphism, thinking that land is not only soil, but also includes climate, water, plants and animals. Land morality is to transform human beings from the role of land conqueror into equal members and citizens in the same body.

It implies respect for each member, including respect for the same body itself, and any plunder on land will bring disastrous consequences.

Extended data:

Leopold is the founder of ecological aesthetics and ecological literature. He believes that the beauty of nature is not only reflected in all elements of the same body, but more importantly, the beauty of the same body as a whole, and the beauty of the whole is the highest beauty. Leopold used his beautiful words to attract generations of readers to integrate into nature and listen to the music played by the river.

Think like a mountain: "On a quiet night, with a low bonfire and the Pleiades hanging from the cliff, sit quietly, listen to the wolf's howl, try your best to remember everything you have seen and try your best to understand." Then you will hear extremely harmonious vibration. Its music score is embedded in the waters of Qian Shan, giving out the tone of life and death of animals and plants. This rhythm spans centuries. "
