Wilderness as Saint

A critical examination by an 'expert in alternative agriculture
and earth stewardship', of the schizophrenic attitude as regards
wilderness preservation: 'defending the forest wilderness...
though (they) say little protest to the spread of lethal farm
chemicals or on soil erosion'. Research done by the Land
Institute in Salinas, Kansas on the prairie wilderness as a
model to build a sustainable agriculture is mentioned. An appeal
is made for a new education that leads to 'a love of
agricultural lands too'. 'Tourists' have to become better
informed and more curious 'Travellers'.
