Hi class, guess what?!? A great article in the NYTs on moving forward from the current debate in conservation was published yesterday, the same day we were discussing these issues! It was written by Emma Marris (the author of Rambunctious Garden) and a scientist at the Wilderness Society (i.e. people who protect ‘pristine’ nature). Check it out! Here is a quote:
“No matter which reason motivates you most, working together and using a diversity of approaches is far better than inaction or squabbling. With hard work, political support and lots of money, we can have the cherished landscapes, the most endangered species, and the comfort of knowing there is still wild nature left. We just can’t expect to have them all in the same place.”
