Everyone ought to be dissatisfied with the slow spread of conservation to the land. Our ‘progress’ still consists largely of letterhead pieties and convention oratory. The only progress that counts is that on the actual landscape of the back forty, and here we are still slipping two steps backward for each forward stride.
- Aldo Leopold, The Ecological Conscience, 1947
