Considered to be the father of wildlife management and conservation and a pioneer of the wilderness system, Aldo Leopold radically influenced the development of environmental ethics and sustainability. He is best known for his book A Sand County Almanac, which inspired a generation of land ethics, or a moral responsibility to balance our needs with those of the environment.
