History of Conservation and Environmentalism Stages of Activism –Pragmatic resource conservation –Moral & aesthetic nature preservation –Growing concern about health & ecological damage cause by pollution (modern environmentalism) –Global environmental citizenship

Pragmatic Resource Conservation 1864 George Perkins wrote Man & Nature Influenced President Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot (his chief conservation advisor) Roosevelt created Forest Service w/ Pinchot as chief Their policies were utilitarian conservation (save forests for utility not aesthetics or ecology)

Preservation - moral & aesthetic John Muir (first president of Sierra Club) opposed Pinchot’s utilitarian policies Nature deserves to exist for its own sake- regardless of its usefulness Biocentric preservation – fundamental right of other organisms to exist and pursue their own interests (spiritual values & aesthetics)

Modern Environmentalism 1962 Rachel Carson wrote Silent Springs (about pollution & the threat of toxic chemicals to humans & other species) Mostly effects to environment that are local, regional or maybe even national

Global Environmentalism International travel and communication today have created a - Global Village or Spaceship Earth Earth Summits (eg Rio de Janeiro) or Earth Days or …. We have all become a Global Citizen (whatever we do here may influence someone around the world!!!)

(McKinney & Schoch) Conservation/ Preservation Modern Environmentalism Global Citizen

(McKinney & Schoch)

Basic Causes of Environmental Problems

Human Disturbance in the World

Degree of Economic Development (as measured by ‘per capita gross national income in purchasing power parity)

Acid Deposition

P = number of people A = affluence or average resource-use per person T = technology or the beneficial & harmful environmental effects of the technologies used to provide & consume each unit of resource

Obviously, if everyone in the world tried to live at consumption levels approaching ours, the results would be disastrous.

Environmental Science looks at these complex interactions
