Among those included are:
- philosophers such as Rousseau, Kant, Spinoza and Heidegger
- activists such as Chico Mendes and Wangari Maathai
- literary giants such as Virgil, Goethe and Wordsworth
- major religious and spiritual figures such as Buddha and St Francis of Assissi
- eminent scientists such as Darwin, Lovelock and E.O. Wilson.
