Do you love nature? Do you like national parks? Thank George P. Marsh's "Man and Nature", written in 1864, for pioneering the study and the preservation of our environment.  By focusing on how humanity's actions affect nature around us, Marsh influenced the discussion of caring for the environment, and the eventual creation of national parks, forests, and refuges.  As a result, worldwide, as of 2022, 15% of land, and 8% of sea have been protected for preservation.
