Ecology and John Muir

       For my research topic I choose Ecology. The reason in which i choose this topic was because I always found it interesting how throughout the years, and more prominently in the resent decades, scientist have taken a closer look at hour organisms react and live in their own environments.
       Many influential people in the field of Ecology also took a look at how humans affect the nature around them and also how humans are able to thrive with minimal advances of technology and in turn enjoy and take advantage of their own natural environments. This revolutionary idea during these individuals era greatly impacted thisscientific field and as a result had influences many aspects on how we see our environment and also our impact on it.
       The way in which I went about researching my topic, I fist tried to find some websites to gather some background knowledge on Ecology. I also tried to find some information that contained any controversy on the topic of Ecology in general and some controversy that some individuals in the field of Ecology had to deal with.
        As I started researching and reading some information I found people that were associated with Ecology and the impact they had on this field. Later, during my research I found a website that talked about the biography of one influential person in this science field.
        Some links I found during my research was a website from the organization that John Muir fist started and I thought would be very useful towards my report. I also found a website that contained a list of individuals that influenced the field of Ecology, the website was called Pajarito Environmental Education Center. Then I found another site called The Environment, A Global Challenge that described the challenge John Muir had to deal with.
