The Yosemite. John Muir.s quest to preserve the wilderness

✅ ‘All these colours, from the blue 🔵 sky to the yellow 💛 valley smoothly blending as they do in a rainbow 🌈, making 🛠️ a wall 🧱 of light 💡 ineffably fine.’Having spent significant time ⏱️ obsessively exploring and ➕ learning about the Sierra, John Muir’s passion for and ➕ belief in preserving the wilderness steadily grew 🌲⬆️. He 👤👨 believed 💜 that excessive grazing and ➕ logging would result in its eventual destruction, and ➕ so campaigned to designate the area as a protected national park 🏞️.In 1️⃣8️⃣9️⃣0️⃣, the US 👥⬅️ Congress passed the National 🏞️ Park Bill 💵, and ➕ the Yosemite and ➕ Sequoia national parks 🏞️ were established. At the time ⏱️ of writing ✍️, Muir’s views on conservation of the wilderness were totally 😲 radical; today, environmental activists are too often brushed aside in favour of something faster, easier, and ➕ cheaper.Muir not ❌️ only educates us 👥⬅️ in the particulars of the botanicals of this spectacular landscape 🌆, but also inadvertently traps us 👥⬅️ in his 👤👨⬅️ web 🕸️ of enthusiasm for the beauty 💇 and ➕ significance of Mother 🤶 Nature. The Yosemite gives 🎁➡️ us 👥⬅️ the tools 🔪 to construct 👷‍♂️ a detailed mental map 🗺️ of the Sierra, and ➕ leaves 🍃 us 👥⬅️ with the resolution to be more compassionate and ➕ environmentally mindful.First published in 1️⃣9️⃣1️⃣2️⃣, and ➕ with a new 🆕 introduction from Muir authority Terry Gifford, the message in The Yosemite is perhaps more pertinent now than it ever was. There is a lot to thank 💭 Muir for, not ❌️ least opening 😃 our 👥⬅️ eyes 👀 to the earth 🌐 beneath our 👥⬅️ feet 🐾.
