Abstract

Aldo Leopold is considered the most influential American conservationist of the 20th century. In his book, A Sand County Almanac (1949), he proposed an ecological ethic based on the recognition of the interdependence of the biotic and abiotic members of a community, of which humans are a part. This article presents Leopold's ideas on the need to develop a land ethic that addresses human relationships with the rest of nature, with the expectation that greater ecological awareness will contribute to respectful human participation in the land community.
