Deep ecology
Gives nature value in itself and calls for a radical reduction of human impact.
Associated with: Arne Næss, Earth First!.
Deep ecology sits in the left-libertarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: leaning state-led and slightly libertarian. The clearest positions are strongly nature-first on environment, leaning anti-establishment on institutions and leaning state-led on economy.
