In the further reading category: "Encounters with the Archdruid" by John McPhee, about David Brower, former director of the Sierra Club, and his advocacy for preserving wilderness areas "untouched" by humans. "Forests: A Very Short Introduction" by Jaboury Ghazoul, which explores how human presence, even in ancient times, has led to profound changes in landscapes for their benefit.

"A Sand County Almanac" by Aldo Leopold since he is referenced in the article.
