The quote from Barry Lopez suggests that hunting societies have a different attitude towards the land than industrial ones, with a focus on understanding and attending to relationships with animals and the natural world. This aligns with the principles of the new ecological paradigm, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of preservation and sustainability. The other choices, such as Judeo-Christian or anthropocentric, do not capture this emphasis on relationships and interconnectedness.
