Is the goal of environmentalism to maximize the health of the environment, or to maximize the health of the environment experienced by the average person?

(I think both are valid goals, but they can lead to very different conclusions)

it's debatable whether health is maximized if environmentalism demonstrates myopia & mismanages itself among the anthropocene. the ideal experience & natural outcome aren't the same thing, but they may overlap without  some intractable austerity.

former > latter, but still deals w/ humans.
