description While ecological challenges are more and more systematically placed at the heart of the news, with the multiplication of activist groups carrying out sometimes violent actions of protest, it is usual to consider that environmental degradation is relatively recent. It is true that the first alarmist reports date from the early 1970s.

A review of history sheds light on current issues, highlighting the importance of political interventionism to meet ecological challenges.
