Human beings have been concerned about nature and their place in it
for millennia. Disquiet about the consequences of human action on
the natural environment date back to the ancient Greeks and Romans.
The efforts of the green movement can be traced back to the 19th
century. In this period, individuals, groups, and organizations
began campaigning for the conservation and preservation of natural
areas and the protection of wildlife species. Efforts to combat
pollution also began. It was not until the 1960s, however, that the
green movement in its more modern incarnation emerged. The green
movements that arose at this time maintained the concerns with
conservation, preservation, and industrial pollution held by
earlier generations, but added to their agenda new issues,
including justice, equality, participatory democracy, and
sustainability. The A to Z of the Green Movement provides a
detailed and comprehensive overview of green parties and movements,
green issues, and green concepts. This is done through a
chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of
cross-referenced dictionary entries on countries in the world where
green parties or proto-parties have formed, green movement
organizations, major international environmental conferences, and
green concepts. This useful reference will be greatly valued by
students, academics, journalists, and policymakers alike.
