Journal-- A Sand County Almanac

The “Land Ethics” and “The land pyramid” really shocked me, and it is pretty logical and persuasive. “Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land”. Yes, it is, but the problem is the development of the conservation is nearly no progress. The reason why this situation happened based on the basic conscience from “people to land” we have. The human still act the role who domains the land today according to the Aldo Leopold’s evidence and explanations. For example, Aldo show us, “some species of trees have been ‘read out of the party’ by economics mined foresters because they grow too slowly, or have too low a sale value to pay as timber crops…” Economics conscience is fundamental weakness, and it is also a central point Aldo want to tell us. Everything improvement good for the land conservation but also pursuing the economics benefit will be difficult to work and lose its durable. What we should realize is land and we are community, and we should respect land in a moral and philosophy level not domain it. Those new concepts and thoughts in “A Sand County Almanac” are really thoughtful.
