14. From the land to socio-ecological systems: the continuing influence of Aldo Leopold

Author

Meine, Curt

Abstract

The emergence of linked socio-ecological systems as an organizing concept over the last two decades casts the legacy of Aldo Leopold in a new light, allowing us to view him as a key forerunner in this interdisciplinary field. Leopold regarded “land” as the nexus of human and natural systems and framed his “land ethic” as a guide to appropriate human thought and action within them. Our understanding of Leopold’s legacy, and of the land ethic itself, continues to evolve in response to rapidly changing social and ecological conditions.

20. Environment and Development: Building Sustainable Societies. Lectures from the 1987 Summer Forum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Report 135. Report 135.

Author

Wisconsin Univ., Madison. Inst. for Environmental Studies. and Meine, Curt

Abstract

The argument over economic development and environmental sustainability took center stage in the late 1960s and early 1970s as many believed the capacity of the earth to support the population was being reached. In the early 1980s the arguments receded but have reemerged as atmospheric problems and petroleum supplies are again hot topics. The purpose of this forum was to discuss whether environmental crises will cause a reversal in world development and how should development of the world proceed. Eight papers are included: (1) "Development Pressures on the World's Peasants: Environmental Trends and Development Lessons from the Bottom Up" (Timothy C. Weiskel); (2) "Environmental Opportunities and Limits for Development" (Reid A. Bryson); (3) "Global Sustainability and Food Production" (Robert L. Clodius); (4) "The Red Queen Syndrome: Running Faster--Going Nowhere?" (John E. Ross); (5) "Environmental Criteria and World Bank Loans" (Robert J. A. Goodland); (6) "Decline of the World's Tropical Forests" (James D. Nations); (7) "In Defense of Development" (Julian L. Simon); and (8) "Global Balances in the 21st Century" (Russell W. Peterson).
