"In wilderness is the salvation of the world."(Leopold 2) This quote from "Thinking Like a Mountain," supports the fact that author Aldo Leopold believes an ecosystem needs to be balanced in order to grow and be stronger. Similarly, in the documentary Cold Warriors: Wolver vs. Buffalo, director Jeff Turner explains that the world has beautiful places with high valleys, canyons, and stunning forest. We should watch and learn from Nature. For this, and other reasons, Aldo Leopold would feel conflicted about what is happening in Wood Buffalo National Park.
One strong point to consider from the documentary is when the wolf had to kill a middle age buffalo in the heart of winter so it and the pack wouldn't starve. Aldo Leopold would like this even because it shows that the wolves maintain their ecosystem. In "Thinking Like a Mountain," Leopold says, "Every living thing (and perhaps many dead one as well) pays heed to [the howl of the wolf] that call.

Leopold would dislike it because the people are not thinking like a mountain. Building an oil refinery could damage the ecosystem around it. Thinking like a mountain means to think with nature not against
