Landscapes

The links between ecosystem and human health are many and obvious: the value in wetlands of filtering pollutants out of groundwater aquifers; the potential future medical use of different plants’ genetic material; the human health effects of heavy metal accumulation in fish and shellfish. It is clear that healthy ecosystems provide the underpinnings of the long-term health of economics and societies.

– F. Henry Habicht, former Deputy Administrator, EPA

Stewardship… is the careful and responsible management of something. As it relates to the wilderness, the philosophy of stewardship holds that it is our responsibility as a species to act as caretakers for the natural world and its resources.

–John Gookin, Wilderness Wisdom
