Rachel Carson was a marine biologist and nature writer who became one of the most influential environmental activists of the 20th century. Born in 1907, Carson had a deep love for nature from childhood. In the 1950s, the widespread use of synthetic pesticides like DDT was transforming agriculture and pest control. However, Carson began to notice disturbing effects on wildlife and ecosystems. Her groundbreaking book Silent Spring, published in 1962, would challenge the chemical industry and spark the modern environmental movement.
