[edit] List of Environmentalists
| NAME | NATIONALITY | PROFESSION | BRIEF BIO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aldo Leopold | American | Ecologist, Forester, Environmentalist | He was influential in the development of modern environmental ethics and in the movement for wilderness conservation. His ethics of nature and wildlife preservation had a profound impact on the environmental movement, with his biocentric or holistic ethics regarding land. He emphasized biodiversity and ecology and was a founder of the science of wildlife management. |
| James Lovelock | British | Independent scientist, Environmentalist and Futurologist | He is best known for proposing the Gaia hypothesis, which postulates that the biosphere is a self-regulating entity with the capacity to keep our planet healthy by controlling the chemical and physical environment. He has been quoted as saying that 80% of humans will perish by 2100 AD, and this climate change will last 100,000 years. |
| Amory Lovins | American | Environmentalist, Consultant physicist | He is the Chairman and Chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute. He has promoted energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources, and the generation of energy at or near the site where the energy is actually used.
