  abstract  = {Der Forschungsreisende Francis Hall kam als Soldat nach S{\"u}damerika und bet{\"a}tigte sich hier auch als Pflanzensammler, Reiseschriftsteller und Bergsteiger. Er war Freund und Briefpartner Jeremy Benthams und versuchte gemeinsam mit Jean-Baptiste Boussingault den Chimborazo zu besteigen. Der liberale Journalist wurde 1833 in b{\"u}rgerkriegs{\"a}hnlichen Unruhen in Ecuador ermordet. Der einzige Brief Halls an Humboldt, in dem er diesen f{\"u}r die Naturerschließung des Landes zu gewinnen versucht, eine Sammlung andiner Pflanzen {\"u}bersendet und seine Einsch{\"a}tzung zur politischen Lage und Zukunft S{\"u}damerikas kundtut, wird hier ver{\"o}ffentlicht und kommentiert.},

  abstract  = {In the middle of the 19th century the question whether expanding civilization and industrialization had an effect on climate was discussed intensely worldwide. It was feared that increasing deforestation would lead to continuous decrease in rainfall. This first scientific discussion about climate change as the result of human intervention was strongly influenced by the research Alexander von Humboldt and Jean-Baptiste Boussingault had undertaken when they investigated the falling water levels of Lake Valencia in Venezuela. This essay aims to clarify the question whether Alexander von Humboldt can be counted among the leading figures of modern environmentalism on account of this research as is being claimed by Richard H. Grove in his influential book Green Imperialism. Colonial Expansion, Tropical Island Edens and Origins of Environmentalism, 1600-1860 (1995).},
