Welcome

Hi all and Welcome to my Conservation Psychology Blog! My name is Vanessa and I’ve chosen to research on the biography of John Muir for my project. The reason why I chose him is that he is probably one of the most influential man back in his time, as he shook the world by stomp with his unwavering love for nature, inspiring many to take up green initiatives for the protection of our nature.

After researching on him, I, too, was inspired to start engaging in environmentally friendly behaviour such as recycling my wastes. Perhaps it was the increase in awareness of the large destruction of our nature that propelled me to do so. Thus, I would hope that after reading about John Muir, you all would feel the same way too.

Muir is one who had bestowed many discerning contributions and sacrifices just to spread the awareness of conserving nature that truly demonstrated his undying love for the outdoors. Muir’s unwavering efforts led to the establishment of Sequoia National Park and Yosemite National Park, in which both are currently situated in Canada. He was well known for his unfaltering stand against the several daunting battles jus to save America’s forestlands. Before we go into detail of his major accomplishments and contributions, let us first take a gander into what led to the creation of such an extraordinary person.
