Broadly known as the father of “The Land Ethic,” Aldo Leopold brought to light a ever growing problem in the mistreatment of the environment, in his main work ‘Sand County Almanac’ (1947) he talks about the ecosystem as a member of a larger community that should be enlarged to include non-human elements such as soils, waters, plants, and animals or collectively the land, and that all forms of life are valuable. In his concept, land Ethic reflects the existence of an ecological conscience, and that an ethical relation to land cannot exist without love, respect, and admiration for land, as well as a high regard for its value. This value is meant in a philosophical way rather than a mere economic value.
