About this listen

Leopold's essays on conservation will open the mind of any listener who gives them a chance. The first part uses essays for each of the 12 months to share the rhythm of life on his restored Wisconsin farmland, and uses the stories to branch into eye opening lessons on the history of man's use and abuse of it. The second part continues using stories from Leopold's experiences in wild places across North America to expand the lessons to a much wider view. The final part of the work seeks to lay out a better path for humanity, using solid logic and deep philosophical questioning.

The author's willingness to ask hard questions of himself and of humanity leads him to lay out a new set of ethics for us to live by in which we can create sustainable health and abundance for both ourselves and for the planet indefinitely.
