最近看了天下文化出版的沙郡年記,雖

然是將近半個世紀的老書,但是經典

之作的確還是經得起時間的考驗,讀了還是

很有感觸。

作者李奧帕德(Aldo Leopold)是舉世

聞名的三大自然寫作者之一,與《湖濱散

記》作者亨利梭羅,以及國家公園之父約翰

繆爾齊名。他畢生致力於自然保育工作,為

美國保育運動的先驅,就在《沙郡年記》手

稿完成後不到一個月,他不幸在協助鄰居撲

滅農場大火時喪生,本書遂成為他對保育工

作的最後宣言。《沙郡年記》可謂生態學的

新約聖經,是一本與《湖濱散記》齊名的不

朽之作。由於貢獻卓著,李奧帕德被譽為:

近代環境保育之父、美國環境倫理的播種

者、將人倫延伸到生命倫理的智者先驅。

本書分成四個部分,第一部分是以時間

來描述他對於自然生態的觀察,第二部分是

以地區來描述他對於自然生態的觀察,其中

包含了從自然生態觀察中所體驗到的人生哲

學,第三部分探討人類活動與自然生態的關

係,其中包含了現代環境保育和永續發展的

概念,第四部分則是在討論環境倫理。

Recently, after reading the book "A Sand County Almanac," published

by Commonwealth Publishing Group, I'm full of feeling; although it

is an old book around for half a century, this classics masterpiece really

undergoes the time test.

The author Aldo Leopold is one of the three world famous natural

writing authors as the same reputation as Henry David Thoreau, the

author of "Walden", and John Muir, Father of the National Park Service.

Unfortunately, he, a pioneer of U.S. conserving movements and the life-

long devotee in natural conservation, lost his life in assisting a fi re fi ghting

of his neighbor's farm just within a month after the completion of the

manuscript of "A Sand County Almanac." This book has thus become his

last announcement for his conservation movement and is considered to

be the new cement of Bible in ecology being as well-known as "Walden."

Because of his tremendous contributions, Aldo Leopold is thought to be the

father of environmental conservation in the modern age, the precursor of

American environmental ethics and the intelligent pioneer extending the

human relation to life ethics.

There are 4 parts in this book. The fi rst is about using the time to

describe his observation of the natural biotic community. The second is about

the geographic observation to the wildness including the life philosophy

derived from ecological observation. In the third part, it discusses

the relationship between human activities and the natural ecological

environment, which includes the concepts of modern environmental

conservation and sustainable development. The fourth section focuses on

the discussion of environmental ethics.

其中讓我最有感觸的是第三部分,他能

夠在那個時代就體認到人類對於自然環境中

土地與生態之間複雜的交互作用是無知的,

但是卻又自以為是地球的主宰者而恣意改

造,殊不知此舉最後反過來還是會讓自己受

害,就像最近世界野生動物聯盟(WWF)

的廣告一樣,一個獵人為了砍下犀牛角而讓

犀牛絕種之後所產生的骨牌效應繞了一圈壓

死自己,所以要做好環境保育的方法不是保

護某些明星物種,而是要將整個自然環境都

保存下來,也就是說要保護足夠的棲息地免

於人類開發破壞而讓其中的生物能夠自然繁

衍的概念。也許只有讓人類接近大自然從事

戶外活動當中學習以其他動物的角度來觀察

這一個世界才能夠慢慢的體會到人與環境的

關係,否則再繼續只注重眼前的短期利益只

會自取滅亡走向滅絕之路。

人是大自然的動物,所以也沒有辦法脫

離自然而獨立生存在藍色星球上。你有多久

沒有接觸大自然而一直待在人造的都市環境

之中,找個機會讓自己投入自然的懷抱,它

不僅能夠讓你放鬆緊張的身心,避免精神疾

病發生,而且也可以像作者一樣在觀察自然

生態當中體會到許多人生的大道理和人與環

境之間的關係。讓我們一起來為未來子孫的

環境保育盡一份心力,不要讓藍色星球變成

骯髒而死氣沉沉的黑色星球吧!

Among them I am most emotionally touched in the third part. He

realized that period of time that human beings have no conscience of

the complicated interactions between the ecology and land. However,

people considered themselves the dominator of earth and unscrupulously

reformed the land with no conscience that will eventually victimizes

human beings. The result is like the advertisement of the World Wildlife

Fund for Nature (WWF)-a hunter intending to obtain rhinoceros horn

fi nally died from the domino effect with that species extinction. Therefore,

in order to effectively preserve the environment, the appropriate method

is to conserve the integrity-enough habitation except from human's

developing destroy and the concepts of natural multiplication of wildlife.

Perhaps, only if having the human beings engaged themselves in the

outdoor activities, there will be possibilities that they would learn to look

at the world in the perspective of the wildlife and then gradually realize

the relation between human beings and the environment. Otherwise, if

they still only pay attention to their short-term benefi ts, self-destruction

and the extinction of human beings is anticipated.

Humans are animals of the nature, so it is impossible to break away

from it and live separately on this blue planet. How long have you not

had gotten in touch with the wild nature but always stayed in the artifi cial

surrounding of the city? Find yourself a chance to engage in the nature. It

not only relaxes your tensed mind and body, as well as helps to prevent

mental illness from happening, but also realizes the realities in our life and

the relation between men and nature while observing the nature, as the

author had done. Let us work together and try our best to conserve our

environment for our future generations. Don't ever let this beautiful blue

planet turned into a doomed black one.
