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.

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!
