Leopold’s Round River concept

Leopold's Round River concept emphasizes the interconnectedness of natural systems and the need for holistic environmental understanding. He believed that ecosystems function like a circle—every part, including plants, animals, and humans, influences and supports each other. This concept advocates for sustainable practices that respect these relationships, suggesting that harming one part of the system ultimately affects the whole. By viewing nature as an interconnected circle rather than separate pieces, Leopold encourages responsible stewardship and a deeper appreciation for the balance of life on Earth.
