Trust for Public Land interview with Cronon about Conservation and Patriotism

"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose..."

"I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember."

---Antoine de Saint Exupéry, The Little Prince
