Jack Turner - The Abstract Wild

Perhaps what I fear most is that the destruction of the natural world to serve human needs and ideals will become an issue decided by opinion polls and surveys that track the gentle undulations of the true, the good and the beautiful among a people now ignorant of what was once their wild and beautiful home.
 
Taken from the 1996 book The Abstract Wild written by the American mountaineer and philosopher Jack Turner.
