Aldo Leopold

Aldo Leopold (1887–1948) was an American environmentalist and educator whose book A Sand County Almanac (1949) is one of the founding documents of the modern land conservation movement. Leopold worked for the U.S. Forest Service, mainly in the Southwest, and helped to create one of the country’s first national wilderness areas in New Mexico. He later taught at the University of Wisconsin and was a prolific writer of articles on wildlife management and ecology.
