Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

More 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

caricatured as theatres of ideological conflict, where champions of Nature

battled champions of Progress. Liberals, in this view, blocked dams in order tosave 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.

Today, to my distress, some conservative writers continue to treat

environmentalism with skepticism or outright hostility. They depict it as

one more workshop of the left, a means of enlarging government control and

the power of the bureaucratic New Class, and a cudgel with which to beat free

market economies and press for a restructuring of society – in short, a clever

scheme to add the environment and its votaries to the Welfare State.

This is a mistake.

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

embrace the environment. „Conservare‟ is the common stem of conservation

and conservatism, and perhaps that ancient link should serve as a signature

of the basic principle that humanity does not exist apart from nature and will

suffer to the extent that we abuse it.

Growth in scientific knowledge has altered the character of the environmental

movement and its relation to political and economic life. A global view now

prevails. We no longer see changes as isolated episodes-the pollution of a

river here or the extinction of a bird species there. Now we see all of these

events as having coalesced into worldwide secular trends.
