Empire forestry and American environmentalism.7. From empire forestry to Commonwealth forestry.What we now know of as environmentalism began with the establishment of the first empire forest in 1855 in British India, and during the second half of the nineteenth century, over ten per cent of the land surface of the earth became protected as a public trust. Sprawling forest reservations, many of them larger than modern nations, became revenue-producing forests that protected the whole 'household of nature', and Rudyard Kipling and Theodore Roosevelt were among those who celebrated a new class of government foresters as public heroes. Imperial foresters warned of impending catastrophe, desertification and global climate change if the reverse process of deforestation continued. The empire forestry movement spread through India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and then the United States to other parts of the globe, and Gregory Barton's study looks at the origins of environmentalism in a global perspective.Cambridge studies in historical geography ;34.Empire Forestry & the Origins of EnvironmentalismForests and forestryColoniesGreat BritainHistoryForest managementHistoryEnvironmentalismHistoryForests and forestryColoniesHistory.Forest managementHistory.EnvironmentalismHistory.634.9209171241Barton Greg1032527UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910449687703321Empire forestry and the origins of environmentalism2450457UNINA
