Eco Defense

Eco-Defense Environment is the precious gift given by nature to us. It is the basic necessity of humans to survive. It includes all the forests, rivers, oceans, atmosphere, etc. As it is precious, some of the people are trying to destroy it. The American wilderness is under huge assault. Edward Abbey wrote Eco-Defense to address the threats to the environment and suggesting taking steps to protect it from depleting.

In such situation the house holder has both the right and the obligation to defend himself, his family, and his property by whatever means are necessary (Abbey 344).
