Farley Mowat, Canadian conservationist, writing in the 1990s may have said it best: “It is not the struggle between capitalism and communism or between any other set of ‘isms’. It is the conflict between those who possess the means and will to exploit the living world to destruction, and those who are banding together in a desperate and last-ditch attempt to prevent the New Juggernaut from trashing our small planet.”
