Who knows the information about the writer Leopold?

Aldo leopold, a famous American ecologist and a pioneer of environmentalism, is called "the founder of American new environmental theory".

Leopold 1887 was born in Burlington, Iowa, USA. Leopold liked to follow his father to the wild since he was a child. Burlington, located on the Mississippi River, has beautiful natural scenery. Leopold's childhood and adolescence were cared for by the gentle hand of nature. From 65438 to 0906, he became a graduate student majoring in forestry at Yale University. After graduation, he was sent to Arizona and New Mexico as a forestry official as a clerk of the Federal Forestry Administration. 19 12, Leopold was promoted to inspector of Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico. 1924 was appointed by the Ministry of Forestry as the director of the American Forestry Production Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. 1928 left the forestry bureau. Leopold shifted his interest to wildlife research, which he was more concerned about. One year, he received a grant, which enabled him to conduct wildlife surveys in some states in the central and northern United States and wrote Wildlife Management. Today, Leopold has been recognized as the founder of wildlife management research.

From 65438 to 0933, Leopold became a professor in the Department of Agricultural Management at the University of Wisconsin, and he gradually formed a complete set of views on earth ecology and morality. Together with Robert Marshall, a famous natural scientist, he founded the Wilderness Society, with the aim of protecting and expanding the wilderness land and free life in the wilderness facing invasion and pollution.

In order to better experience and study the ecological balance, Leopold bought an abandoned farm on the banks of Wisconsin in April, 1935. In the following ten years, this place he called "Shaxiang" and a dilapidated wooden house above it became a "paradise" for Leopold and his family to get close to nature on weekends and holidays.

During the Second World War, Leopold wrote the best book in his life-The Yearbook of Shaxiang, which is the crystallization of his observation and thinking on the relationship and fate of nature, land and human beings and land. He advocated an open "land ethics" and called on people to treat the land with humility and kindness. He tried to find a way to establish people's sense of responsibility for land, and hoped to influence the government's attitude and management methods towards land and wildlife in this way.

Leopold expressed the ecological function of land in his article, in order to inspire people's love and respect for land and strengthen people's moral responsibility to maintain this integrity. Leopold told us through his wise language that the ethical category of land includes soil, water, plants and animals, and everything that exists on the earth. The ethics of land is to make people give up the role of conqueror. In every ethical category, equality and respect for members are implied, and they are treated as equals with themselves.

Shaxiang Yearbook was published in 1949, which coincided with the post-war economic recovery period. People conquer and use nature with confidence, but people's awareness and concept of ecology are still very strange. The publication of this book did not cause much influence at that time. Since the 1960s, people have gradually discovered all kinds of crises hidden in the affluent life-environmental damage caused by conquering nature.

Leopold's cleverness, wisdom and foresight far exceeded his time. He was regarded as the leader of the new nature conservation movement, and the earth ethics was written into the ethics of American forestry workers in 1990.

The Yearbook of Shaxiang began to seek publication from 194 1 until1April 948 17, when Leopold received a long-distance call, Oxford University Press decided to accept the publication of his works, and he felt extremely gratified. However, only four days later, a fire broke out in the farm near Leopold. Leopold died of a heart attack on the way to put out the fire. In the wilderness on the banks of the Wisconsin River, the fairy tale of his earth protector can no longer be seen, and Leopold's soul has returned to the land and wilderness he loved and ran and cried for all his life.
