Introducing ALDO LEOPOLD
We reached the old wolf in time to watch a
fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever
since, that there was something new to me in those eyes—something known only to her and to the
mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because
fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters’ paradise. But
after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the
mountain agreed with such a view.”
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, 1949
