John Muir naturalists are those with John Muir’s beliefs, as extracted from his collected writings and applied to today. I have spoken for them in The Life of the Creative Spirit, p.154:
John Muir naturalists place the human race above people. It is a club, we are its temporary members. One short-sighted lot of us, leaving fate to market forces and sales pressure, chances eroding nature’s biological and spiritual integrity, past repair. If the word responsibility has any meaning, each generation must be on vigilant guard duty, fighting to keep the remaining wild places safe on its watch.

Amen.
