Saving Ourselves As We Save The World

As the conservationist attends to the sustainability of the planet, the Conservationist's Way attends to the sustainability of the conservationist. What is at stake is the emergence of, or missed opportunity for, a new, deeper and enduring harmony of our lives and our world. Whatever else we are, we must each also be conservationists. Yet we live in a time when this is not easy, when tragic loss of species and ecosystems rends the spirit of anyone paying attention. Conservationists must nurture their own nature, must cultivate in themselves a healthy inner ecology. The foundation of the Conservationist's Way is the discovery that the most important work we can do must also be the most joyous.
