The Great Experiment in Conservation
Voices from the Adirondack Park, Revised Edition
Erstverkaufstag: 16.09.2024
Langbeschreibung
The Adirondack region of New York State is, in many respects, America's cauldron of conservation. It was there, more than a century ago, that wanton exploitation of forests first aroused concern about human impact on the environment. It was there that Americans first began to set aside lands proclaimed as "forever wild." The establishment of the Adirondack Park created an immense landscape of 6 million acres composed of a mixture of public and private lands in nearly equal proportion. This unprecedented blend of human communities within wild lands makes the Adirondack Park perhaps one of the greatest case studies in conservation and development in U.S. history.
William F. Porter is professor of wildlife ecology and director of the Adirondack Ecological Center at SUNY ESF.
