Conservation is an ethic.
A spiritual interpretation of the beauty and grandeur of the universe, and what this means to the life form of man. It appreciates the order of nature and the delicate balance under which we live. It recognizes and is based in the interrelationships of all living things and their total environment.

It does not twist natural laws to economic ends, but aligns resource utilization with ecological principles.
