Abstract

The article presents the authors' view regarding the value of nature. According to the authors, the nature experience by Canadians in major cities exists in empty lots and backalleys. It states that early conservationists positioned a wilderness in contrast to the conditions in the urban areas. It adds that the proponents have to argue on the spiritual and redemptive value of nature in order to achieve its first preserves. Moreover, the authors believe that many rely on nature advocates in dealing with environmental concerns such as climate change and biodiversity conservation. They assert that significant ecological, social and economic benefits can be realized by focusing on mundane nature and expanding its scope and diversity.
