Wildlife management

At today's meeting of the Men's Group we heard a presentation on Aldo Leopold, a name few of us had heard before. Come to find out he was very instrumental in the early - very early - days of the ecology movement. He is considered the father of wildlife management. Our speaker, Al Harris, contrasted Leopold with Rachel Carson in this way - Leopold focused on the damages wrought by taking things (animals, plants) away from our environment, Carson focused on the damages wrought by adding things (chemicals) to our environment. Very interesting discussion.
