He also served as professor at the University of California, Berkeley for thirty years. Throughout his life, Leopold was active in numerous wildlife and conservation groups throughout the United States. Leopold later defended his ideas of Land ethic which was a new way to connect nature, land and people.[1]
A. Starker Leopold known for his conservation efforts and contribution to wilderness areas.
After working in Mexico for the Conservation Section of the Pan-American Union, Leopold returned to Berkeley in 1946 as Assistant Professor of Zoology and Conservation in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. He became professor in 1957. For three years (from 1960–1963) he was Assistant to the Berkeley Chancellor. In early 1967, he changed his affiliation to the School of Forestry and Conservation, where he was professor of Zoology and Forestry until his retirement as Professor Emeritus in 1978.[4] He also served as Director of the Sagehen Creek Field Station from 1965 to 1978.
Conservation and authorshipedit
In 1962, A. Starker Leopold was appointed as chairman to the Special Advisory Board on Wildlife Management by Secretary of the InteriorStewart Udall. Leopold retained this association until his death twenty years later.[5] The Advisory Board was responsible for writing what is known as the Leopold Report, a series of recommendations regarding wildlife and ecosystem management in the country's national parks. More specifically a reoccurring issue in Yellowstone National Park was the mass killing of the elk population and in order to prevent over population workers hunted them. In this report he invalidated the idea of controlling a population regarding it as unethical. Instead, Leopold fought for land health and the upkeep of plant and animal populations rather than the control over them.[6] The Report is recognized as a seminal work for the conservation movement.
In addition to the more than 100 scientific papers he authored, Leopold wrote five books during his life, he was working on a sixth at the time of his death.[5] While his writings were not at the forefront in the scientific community, his later works started to focus less on research and more on developing public policy. Leopold took ideas in the scientific community and launched them into political arena, forming many policies that still stand today.[7]
