Quote by Ren, The Wooing of Earth, p. 157

Global thinking and local action both require understanding of ecological systems, but ecological management can be effective only if it takes into consideration the visceral and spiritual values that link us to the earth. Therefore ecological thinking must be supplemented by humanistic value judgments concerning the effect of our choices and actions on the quality of the relationship between humankind and earth, in the future as well as in the present.http://www.bookrags.com/Ren%C3%A9_Dubos

Global thinking and local action both require understanding

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of combining global thinking and local action in ecological management. While understanding ecological systems is crucial, effective management can only be achieved when we also consider the emotional and spiritual connections we have with the earth. Ecological thinking should not be limited to just scientific knowledge, but must also incorporate humanistic values that evaluate the impact of our choices and actions on the relationship between humanity and the environment, not only in the present but also in the future. Both the ecological and cultural aspects need to be considered for sustainable and meaningful change.
