You should start counting from the Native Americans.
They are the ones that developed many of the later ideologies, particularly the one of "Mother Earth".
And Include in the list Grey Owl, a British that liked to play Indian, but who was a pioneer of ecology.
And don't forget, please, Greenpeace, the organization.

How about Marlin Perkins and Jacques Costeau. ------------- "Arguing with someone who hates you or your ideas, is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter what move you make, your opponent will walk all over the board and scramble the pieces". Unknown. |

I would first look at people who have revolutionized biology and the so-called "natural sciences" (at least in the West). People such as Linnaeus, Lamarck, Chambers, Darwin and Wallace. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolus_Linnaeus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolus_Linnaeus ------------- What is history but a fable agreed upon?

Don't worry I wasn't only refering to the four people above. They were just the first four into my head! I meant this thread as a tribute all the great naturalists in history.
Actually can I just mention Mary and Louis Leakey who did much to aid our understanding of the development of the greatest ape of them all......Us! ------------- Her Royal Highness , lady of the Two Lands, High Priestess of Thebes, Beloved of Isis , Cleopatra , Oueen of the Nile |
