Shozo Tanaka (1841-1913), a farmer, was elected headman of his village at the unprecedented age of 17, and devoted his life to the conservation of nature against mining corporations and oligarchic government. His famous quote is difficult to translate, but it reads something like βTrue civilization does not despoil the mountains, nor befoul the rivers, nor ruin the villages, nor kill the people.β
