Document Summary
Tuesday, september 16, 2014: leopold"s early enthusiasm for killing wolves indicative of human ignorance about the ecological interdependence that sustains a mountain ecosystem, fewer wolves meant more deer, no wolves would mean a hunter"s paradise. But after seeing the green re die, i sense that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view": no wolves=more deer=not enough food=no more deer! Mountain fears deer, looks as if someone had given god a new pruning shears. ! A range pulled down by too many deer may fail of replacement (takes decades): we all strive for safety but too much safety yields danger! Land ethic: no question of propriety if its property! Indigenous knowledge/ indignity : subjugated knowledge, as the people are oppressed their ideas are too! Political liberator project of support for indigenous people"s struggles as well as partnership building for human survival!
