"All ethics, so far evolved, rest upon a single premise: that the individual is a member of a community of interdependent parts. His instincts prompt him to compete for his place in that community, but his ethics prompt him to cooperate…A land ethic, then reflects…a conviction of individual responsibility for the health of the land."
- Aldo Leopold, The Sand County Almanac, 1949
