| 505 | 8 | |a Is it time to embrace the so-called 'Anthropocene'-the age of human dominion-and to abandon tried-and-true conservation tools such as parks and wilderness areas? Is the future of Earth to be fully domesticated, an engineered global garden managed by technocrats to serve humanity? The schism between advocates of rewilding and those who accept and even celebrate a 'post-wild' world is arguably the hottest intellectual battle in contemporary conservation. In Keeping the Wild, a group of prominent scientists, writers, and conservation activists responds to the Anthropocene-boosters who claim that wild nature is no more (or in any case not much worth caring about), that human-caused extinction is acceptable, and that 'novel ecosystems' are an adequate replacement for natural landscapes. With rhetorical fists swinging, the book's contributors argue that these 'new environmentalists' embody the hubris of the managerial mindset and offer a conservation strategy that will fail to protect life in all its buzzing, blossoming diversity. With essays from Eileen Crist, David Ehrenfeld, Dave Foreman, Lisi Krall, Harvey Locke, Curt Meine, Kathleen Dean Moore, Michael Soulé, Terry Tempest Williams and other leading thinkers, Keeping the Wild provides an introduction to this important debate, a critique of the Anthropocene boosters' attack on traditional conservation, and unapologetic advocacy for wild nature | |

Is the future of Earth to be fully domesticated, an engineered global garden managed by technocrats to serve humanity? The schism between advocates of rewilding and those who accept and even celebrate a 'post-wild' world is arguably the hottest intellectual battle in contemporary conservation. In Keeping the Wild, a group of prominent scientists, writers, and conservation activists responds to the Anthropocene-boosters who claim that wild nature is no more (or in any case not much worth caring about), that human-caused extinction is acceptable, and that 'novel ecosystems' are an adequate replacement for natural landscapes. With rhetorical fists swinging, the book's contributors argue that these 'new environmentalists' embody the hubris of the managerial mindset and offer a conservation strategy that will fail to protect life in all its buzzing, blossoming diversity. With essays from Eileen Crist, David Ehrenfeld, Dave Foreman, Lisi Krall, Harvey Locke, Curt Meine, Kathleen Dean Moore, Michael Soulé, Terry Tempest Williams and other leading thinkers, Keeping the Wild provides an introduction to this important debate, a critique of the Anthropocene boosters' attack on traditional conservation, and unapologetic advocacy for wild nature BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Real Estate / General bisacsh Nature conservation fast Sciences de la terre eclas Environnement eclas Wirtschaft Nature conservation Umweltschaden (DE-588)4117286-3 gnd rswk-swf Naturschutz (DE-588)4115348-0 gnd rswk-swf Umweltgestaltung (DE-588)4186800-6 gnd rswk-swf Wildnis (DE-588)4127225-0 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Wildnis (DE-588)4127225-0 s Umweltgestaltung (DE-588)4186800-6 s Umweltschaden (DE-588)4117286-3 s Naturschutz (DE-588)4115348-0 s 2\p DE-604 Wuerthner, George edt Crist, Eileen edt Butler, Tom edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Keeping the wild Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 1-59726-448-2 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-59726-448-8 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=781970 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
