ON IMPROVING THE NATURAL-RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES - A REPLY

Knight (1993) claims that we in applied ecology already are recruiting the right type of students, are educating them properly, and that applied ecology is itself progressing adequately. I thoroughly maintain that his claims cannot stand up to counterexample nor to logical analysis. We must project our ideals out beyond the status quo; attaining them will require revolutionary changes in bow we recruit and educate students.
