"All ethics so far evolved
rest upon a single premise: that the individual is a member of a community of
interdependent parts. The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the
community to include soils, waters, plants and animals, or collectively, the
land ... a land ethic changes the role of Homo Sapiens from conqueror of the
land-community to plain member and citizen of it ... it implies respect for his
fellow members, and so also respect for the community as such"
