Callicott/Leopold
|
Believed that when it came to conservation that people were not educated enough, people practice conservation for selfish reasons, people tend to pass their responsibilities on to the government (Moncrief). Think we need to change our attitudes and take action and to reconnect with the community and larger picture (Taylor). The idea of A-B cleavage also is the differences between how land is defined. In A) says commodity, economic, and instrumental while B) says community, the land as whole; focus is on land as a whole (deep vs. shallow). Calicott expands on Leopolds ideas and says their view includes biota which is all biotic and abotic. The land pyramid shows that we have the ability to make it a square because of the choices we make on a geological time scale take too much to fix. Land is defined as an act is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise. However, is this too broad?
