本文着重于20世纪60年代波多黎各现代环境行动主义的起源。作者认为，现代环保主义在当今世界已是一个既定事实，但它是一个新的现象。本文探讨了波多黎各早期的环境政治，并追溯了20世纪70年代中期出现的环境运动的演变，与目前的行动主义。讨论的重点是力量，并有助于塑造这一运动的出现，发展和特点，波多黎各政府如何面对环境行动主义的挑战，以及波多黎各环保主义的政治意义。现代环保主义在岛上的第一次表达可以追溯到著名小说家恩里克·拉盖尔的作品。他在1950年代初和1960年代在电台和报纸上的新闻工作，不断批评政府的发展战略及其对环境和自然资源的影响，引起了激烈的争议。
The article focuses on the origin of modern environmental activism in Puetro Rico in the 1960s. The author remarks that today modern environmentalism is an established fact around the world, but it is a recent phenomenon. The article explores the early environmental politics in Puerto Rico and traces the evolution of the environmental movement that emerged up to the mid-1970s, making the connection with present activism. The discussion focuses on the forces and which contributed to shape the emergence, development and character of this movement, how the Puerto Rican government confronted the challenge of environmental activism, and the political significance of Puerto Rican environmentalism. The first expression of modern environmentalism on the island can be traced to the work of the noted novelist Enrique Laguerre. His journalistic work on the radio and in newspapers during the early 1950s and 1960s, consistently criticizing the government's development strategy and its consequences for the environment and natural resources, generated heated controversy.
