Reckless use of energy by industrial nations has begun to alter the global climate. Each year more arable land is lost to desertification and erosion due to anthropogenic activities. Air pollutants carried by winds contaminate ecosystems in many parts of the globe. Various kinds of wilderness are being spoiled by overexploitation or permanent occupation. However, human interventions into nature have often revealed potentialities of the earth that would have remained unexpressed in the state of wilderness. With knowledge and a sense of responsibility for the welfare of the earth, human intervention into nature can be ecologically sound, aesthetically satisfying, and economically rewarding.
