We tend to believe that "all progress is recent", that ecology as a scientific approach and environmental awareness goes back only 40-50 years or so. That's just because we're so obsessed with the present :) The other day I went to an exhibition celebrating the Carl von Linneaus anniversary and one of the impressive exhibits was a simple map showing how far his students travelled on botanical expeditions. They were quite literally all over the world, to the closed-off hard to reach corners. Amazing. Very interesting.
