Explanation / Answer

Environmental History

Answer:

5. Rachel Carson is a great environmentalist in the US environmental History. I choosed this person because she wrote a book "Silent Spring" in which the effects of chemical pesticides on nature including human beings has been depicted. Her book created mass awareness in US against use of pesticides and this lead to a Environmental movement in US where thousands of people challenged the practices of agricultural scientists and the government and called for a change in the way humankind viewed the natural world.

Silent Spring began with a “fable for tomorrow” – a true story using a composite of examples drawn from many real communities where the use of DDT had caused damage to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans.

The years following the controversy over Silent Spring saw the establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the passing of numerous laws protecting the environment and human health, including a ban on domestic use of DDT in 1972 due to its widespread overuse and harmful impact on the environment.

b) Aldo Leopold: A Yale-educated professor of wildlife management with a deep appreciation for the natural world, Leopold worked with the Forest Service to protect the nation’s first wilderness area. He also wrote A Sand County Almanac, the seminal book on the land ethic.

In 1924, Leopold convinced the Forest Service to protect as wilderness 500,000 acres of New Mexico's Gila National Forest. It was the National Forest System's first officially designated wilderness area.

In 1933, the University of Wisconsin offered Leopold a professorship to teach in the nation's first graduate program in wildlife management. Two years later, with the rapid loss of wilderness in America weighing heavily on his mind, Leopold joined seven other leading conservationists to form The Wilderness Society.

Around the same time, Leopold purchased a farm on the Wisconsin River, where, over the years, he and his family planted thousands of trees. Leopold’s time spent planting, hiking, and observing inspired his most famous book, A Sand County Almanac. In it, he introduces the idea of the “land ethic,” which to this day serves as a guiding beacon for The Wilderness Society.
