Abbey’s passionate advocacy shines through in these essays—I'm curious what motivated him to dedicate so much of his writing to nature and conservation.

The balance between celebrating nature’s beauty and warning about its fragility felt so nuanced—what do others think about how these themes complement or conflict with each other?
