David Brower was the Executive Director of the Sierra Club and was instrumental in creating
protected landscapes, working alongside government to create sacred spaces such as the Point Reyes national
seashore.
A movement based on the above principles could
protect millions of acres of wilderness more stringently than could any congressional act, could insure the propagation of the Grizzly and other threatened life forms better than could an army of game wardens, and could lead to the retreat of industrial civilization from large areas of forest, mountain, desert, prairie,
seashore, swamp, tundra, and woodland that are better suited to the maintenance of native diversity than to the production of raw materials for over consumptive technological human society.
