Leopold's Land Ethic

Leopold’s Land Ethic is a philosophy that encourages humans to see themselves as part of a larger ecological community. It emphasizes respecting and caring for the land, not just using it for resources. Instead of seeing nature as a separate resource, it promotes ethical responsibility to maintain its health and integrity for current and future generations. This perspective shifts the focus from human-centered benefits to the well-being of entire ecosystems, fostering a more harmonious and sustainable relationship with the environment.
