Black Environmentalists
Concerns about humanity’s negative impact on the environment first began during the 20th century. Classic books like A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold and Silent Spring by Rachel Carson began the modern environmentalist movement. These authors shone a spotlight on humanity’s impact on the world and how it could have negative effects on the environment. Since then, the negative impact of pollution, land use, resource extraction, and climate change have been further studied and continue to contribute to declining rates of plants and animal species along with natural areas around the world.
