“Conservation maintains the harmony and beauty of nature, while zoology illustrates its complexity.”
Metussela Ndayishimiye

Aldo Leopold
“We shall never achieve harmony with land, any more than we shall achieve absolute justice or liberty for people. In these higher aspirations the important thing is not to achieve, but to strive.”
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There
