I write regular articles about wellness and cross-cultural issues for Examiner.com. I recently reviewed Green Fire, which explores the personal journey of conservationist Aldo Leopold, who is considered by many to be the father of wildlife management and of the United States’ wilderness system; it reveals how his well-known idea of a "land ethic" was born. It successfully encourages us to contemplate our own relationship with the natural world in our desire to be “well.” Greta for teachers, naturalists, and anyone pro-environmentalism.
Aldo Leopold has become a hero for many people around the world who value taking care of the land, as well as the flora and fauna that, along with we humans live on it and share it.
Green Fire will someday be shown on PBS, as well in the following locations in the near future (2011):
