Conservation is a cause that has no end. There is no point at which we say, 'Our work is finished.' -Rachel Carson
Rachel Carson enjoyed a successful career as a government biologist and writer, penning essays on marine life that are still relevant. But, she is best remembered as a reluctant activist and the author of Silent Spring-the landmark book that exposed the ecological and health hazards of DDT. A New York Times best-seller, Silent Spring reached millions and helped shape the environmental movement as we know it today.
