 A Conservationist Manifesto
Scott Russell Sanders 
“A seasoned professor and writer of fiction andnon-fiction has given us the benefit of his journeyin the worlds of literature, natural history, andreligious philosophy. But
 A ConservationistManifesto
is more than that. Scott RussellSanders's elegant writing reminds us once againthat it is, above all, through style that power defers to reason.” —Wes Jackson, President,The Land Institute
Practical, ecological, and philosophicalgrounds for a conservation ethic
A
s an antidote to the destructive culture of consumption dominatingAmerican life today, Scott Russell Sanders calls for a culture of conservation that allows us to savor and preserve the world,instead of devouring it. How might we shift to a more durable andresponsible way of life? What changes in values and behavior will berequired? Ranging geographically from southern Indiana to the BoundaryWaters Wilderness and culturally from the Bible to billboards, Sandersextends the visions of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and RachelCarson to our own day.
 A Conservationist Manifesto
shows the crucialrelevance of a conservation ethic at a time of mounting concern aboutglobal climate change, depletion of natural resources, extinction of species, and the economic inequities between rich and poor nations. Theimportant message of this powerful book is that conservation is not simplya personal virtue but a public one.
