Who is considered the father of modern ecology, championing a land ethic recognizing the unity of the ecosystem?

Robert Marshall
Aldo Leopold
Rachel Carson
Barry Commoner

The correct answer is: Aldo Leopold

Aldo Leopold is considered the father of modern ecology because of his groundbreaking work in promoting a holistic approach to conservation and recognizing the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Robert Marshall, while an influential conservationist, is not considered the father of modern ecology. Rachel Carson, known for raising awareness about the dangers of pesticides, is influential in the environmental movement but is not known as the father of modern ecology. Barry Commoner, a biologist and activist, focused more on the impact of human activities on the environment rather than the unity of ecosystems. Therefore, Aldo Leopold is the most suitable answer for this question.
