Rachel Carson
Rachel Carson (1907–1964) was an American marine biologist and author best known for her seminal work, Silent Spring which brought about the complex dangers to biodiversity from pesticide use, specifically DDT. It is considered an important starting point in launching a global environmental and conservationist movement and prompted the government to establish the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, along with the Environmental Protection Agency.
