About This Quote

The idea that natural things like rocks and trees and water and soil and animals and plants should be left alone and not disturbed is a very old one. For thousands of years, people have considered wilderness as a place of peace. These days, however, the idea that nature should be preserved as it is has been lost. The idea of “discovering” nature by taking over its land to build homes and factories has come to replace those attitudes.
