Gardening

And, as it works, th' industrious bee
Computes its time as well as we.
How could such sweet and wholesome hours
Be reckoned but with herbs and flowers!

Andrew Marvell, "The Garden"

Reconciliation Ecology

...We can stop most [species reductions] by redesigning anthropogenic habitats so that their use is compatible with use by a broad array of other species. That is reconciliation ecology. Many pilot projects...are demonstrating that it can be done.

Michael L. Rosenzweig, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, 2003

Podcast interview with Dr. Rosenzweig

Ethics

A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.

Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
