Unfortunately you're right about that, as much as I like the word disconnected from those views, preconceptions about earth's apocalyptic doomsday may instead lend to "careful plunder", in a "stewardly manner". Okay, how about "Natural Sanctuaries" and the "Bureau of Land Kinship"? That may emphasize the sacredness of the land itself rather than the tending of it, which is more open to interpretation.
- dkarl 2y agoMaking anything sacred outside of Christianity (and other established religions) offends more people and makes the fight harder. I think we should concentrate on practical, inclusive arguments about the environmental, ecological, educational, and experiential benefits of keeping large areas of land free from development and industrial exploitation, and create a hierarchy of management from maximally protected / minimally exploited areas down to fully exploited areas that have little ecological value but provide a different value such as timber production or recreation.
