As an antidote to the destructive culture of consumption
dominating American life today, Scott Russell Sanders calls for a
culture of conservation that allows us to savor and preserve the
world, instead of devouring it. How might we shift to a more
durable and responsible way of life? What changes in values and
behavior will be required? Ranging geographically from southern
Indiana to the Boundary Waters Wilderness and culturally from the
Bible to billboards, Sanders extends the visions of Henry David
Thoreau, John Muir, and Rachel Carson to our own day. A
Conservationist Manifesto shows the crucial relevance of a
conservation ethic at a time of mounting concern about global
climate change, depletion of natural resources, extinction of
species, and the economic inequities between rich and poor nations.
The important message of this powerful book is that conservation is
not simply a personal virtue but a public one.
