I partially agree with the author. It is good for emphasizing man over nature. But, do we only need to preserve nature only for self-preservation? I think it is too selfish to care the environment for the sake of human only. All animals are living things. So are plants. We all are being in the same world. We all are parts of the ecosystem. The ecosystem of the world must be balance. The author chooses man over other things every time. Although man is important, we need to be considerate other living organisms.
According to biologists, almost all organisms have their role in the ecosystem.To prevent the fact of getting people killed in war,is other animals' life being disturbance fair? In my opinion, it is not. We should find the alternative ways to be benefited both. Will a sane environmentalism always do for our own all the time? It is true that we should protect the environment since it is man's environment. But it is also other living things' environment. I understand that sometimes we need to sacrifice others for the fundamental one. We do not want to sacrifice others beings. So, we need to live in a way of mutualism. I would like to say that saving nature, not only for man, but also for other living organisms. And, I also support that "nature is our ward, it is not our master".But, we should respect each other of being existence on the earth!

Have to agree with you about having mutual respect for each other. On one hand, it can be rather selfish and cruel to forgo the lives of other animals. On the other hand, will it worth to save an animal over a human being. It is also true to maintain a balance in the ecosystem. However, humans being have intelligence far more superior than animals. Human beings are also more adaptable to any changes in the environment compared to animals. Just my opinion.
I agree with you that we must not just save the environment for our sake but also the living organism around us. We usually wait until the animal is becoming endagered before we start to have all those rules and laws to protect them. However like what nigel says human have intelligence far more superior than animals. If we threaten human survival in that region in order to save certain animals, i will choose to protect the human race anytime.
