Deep Ecology

"Deep Ecology has many roots, which can be traced to the ecocentric religions
and ways of life of primal peoples around the world and to many other ancient
and modern sources. These include Taoism; Saint Francis of Assisi; the romantic,
nature-oriented countercultural movement of the nineteenth century with its
roots in Spinoza; the ecocentrism and social criticism of Henry David Thoreau,
John Muir, D.H. Lawrence, Robinson Jeffers and Aldous Huxley; and the Zen
Buddhism of Alan Watts and Gary Snyder.

Emerging in the 1980s as an influential philosophical, social and political movement,
Deep Ecology has shaped the environmental debate among leading activists and
policymakers from former Vice-President Al Gore to Dave Foreman, co-founder
of Earth First!"
