Joseph Wood Krutch Stamp (Palau)

Joseph Wood Krutch anticipated, and completely rebutted the so-called "wise use" movement nearly fifty years ago when he wrote: "The wisest, the most enlightened, the most remotely long-seeing exploitation of resources is not enough, for the simple reason that the whole concept of exploitation is so false and so limited that in the end it will defeat itself, and the earth will have been plundered, no matter how scientifically and farseeingly the plundering has been done."
