Aldo Leopold is known as the father of wildlife management. How did he define ethical behavior?

  1. As following the law at all times

  2. As doing the right thing when no one else is watching, even when doing the wrong thing is legal

  3. As making sure to use all parts of an animal

  4. As teaching others about conservation

The correct answer is: As doing the right thing when no one else is watching, even when doing the wrong thing is legal

Aldo Leopold defined ethical behavior as doing the right thing when no one else is watching, even when doing the wrong thing is legal. This means that ethical behavior goes beyond just following the law and involves doing what is morally right, even when it may not be the easiest or most popular choice. This sets him apart from option A, which suggests that ethical behavior is simply following laws, and option C, which focuses on using resources in a sustainable manner rather than considering ethical implications. Option D, while related to conservation, does not fully capture Leopold's definition of ethical behavior as it does not mention the importance of personal responsibility and accountability. So, by process of elimination, the best answer is B - doing the right thing even when no one else is watching.
