Leopold believed that the future of American wildlife lay largely on private land, in the attitudes and decisions -wise or otherwise- of American farmers and landowners.

 Aldo Leopold on Bush
Aldo was born near Burlington, Iowa on the magnificent bluffs of the Mississippi River, where he developed a deep appreciation for the natural world, which seemed so capable of managing itself without human intervention, the result of a vast interconnectedness which Leopold ultimately became adept at identifying.
Leopold's deepest insights, and most ignored insights, however, dealt with cultural involvement in causing the loss and destruction of human life support systems, the fact that the western JudeoRoman mindset has traditionally had difficulty finding a land of "milk and honey" with which it was satisfied and content to call home.
Leopold, of course, was speaking of a "higher" education, the type that ought come from universities and the type that can, if one thinks for oneself, come from actual experience in the natural world.
