het aliore change has occurred in the environmental movement during the past ten
years than in its entire previous history. Its thrust has become less ideological
and more pragmatic, less New Age and more scientific. It is increasingly
grounded in the databases of atmospheric science and the genetic models of
conservation biology.
The practice of conservation in particular is now linked to economic
development rather than opposed to it, focused on biological diversity rather
than just scenic beauty, broadened to save entire ecosystems rather than
individual star species such as pandas and bald eagles, and tilted to put
increasing emphasis on those tropical countries where the most severe
environmental problems exist.
The next hundred years may well evolve into the century of the environment-
during which most societies shift from guns and bullets to butter and trees. All
this comes not a moment too soon, if we are to save a failing planet.
A decade ago the public image of environmentalism was burdened with what
might be called the Greenpeace metaphor. Environmental issues were

save oddly named small fishes, while conservatives heedlessly sacrificed the
environment for short-term profit. The dichotomy was far from exact, but like
most oversimplifications it held a lot of truth and reflected accurately some of
the larger tensions of American life.

The environmental crisis is real. If the heart of the conservation agenda is the
preservation of the best in the world in the midst of change, it cannot be
limited to institutions, the rule of law, and personal morality, but must also​
