Henry David Thoreau is often considered a precursor to the modern conservation movement, and his writings, particularly "Walden," emphasized the importance of nature and the need for its preservation. His philosophy of simple living in natural surroundings inspired later conservationists, including John Muir and the founders of the national park system. Thoreau's advocacy for the protection of wilderness areas helped lay the groundwork for the establishment of national parks, promoting the idea that natural spaces should be preserved for public enjoyment and ecological health. His legacy continues to influence environmental thought and policy today.
