Encountering wildlife in their habitat from "summary" of The Singing Wilderness by Sigurd F. Olson
To be out in the wilds and meet its creatures in their own habitat is a privilege. It is a world where the animals are free, where they belong, where they are themselves. The range of creatures one may encounter is wide, from the little chickadees to the great moose. Each one has its own way of life, its own place, and its own time. To see them in their natural surroundings is to see them as they really are, not as they appear in a zoo or a picture. Encountering wildlife in their habitat is a lesson in humility. It is a reminder that we are not the only inhabitants of this earth. We are just a part of a vast and intricate web of life. The animals we encounter have their own lives, their own struggles, their own joys. They are not there for our entertainment or exploitation. They are there because they belong there, because they have a right to exist. Meeting wildlife in their habitat is also a lesson in respect. We must respect their space, their needs, their ways. We must not intrude or disrupt. We must observe from a distance, without causing harm or disturbance. We must remember that we are visitors in their world, and that we must tread lightly and carefully. Encountering wildlife in their habitat is a privilege, a lesson, and a responsibility. It is a chance to connect with the natural world, to learn from it, and to protect it. It is an opportunity to see beauty, wonder, and mystery. It is a reminder of our place in the grand scheme of things. It is a call to humility, respect, and stewardship. It is an invitation to be a part of something larger, something greater, something timeless.
