Abstract

Environmental concerns have grown in human society and soon become a respectable branch of intellectual history may shed significant light on the culture of any society. The two attitudes are products of two different standpoints and it is possible that the requirements of the one, on many occasions, be found in contradiction to those of the other. But underlying both these concerns has been humanity's interest in nature, for its own sake, manifested especially in the scientific study of fauna and flora. Such scientific curiosity is a prerequisite for any serious concern for the protection of both environment and species.
