Nature, Temporality and Environmental Management

Scandinavian and Australian perspectives on peoples and landscapes

Herausgeber: Head, Lesley; Setten, Gunhild; Saltzman, Katarina

Beschreibung

This book uses a varieties of temporalities to explore how different concepts of nature and time are embedded in diverse human practices of landscape and environmental management. Scandinavian and Australian perspectives make important intellectual contributions as their peripheral position means they can throw a different light on pervasive issues debated through the affluent West, such as the human role in landscape management, the significance of protected areas for biodiversity conservation and culturally diverse perspectives on nature. The comparative lens of the book allows exploration of new possibilities and challenges in the uncertain and changing landscapes of the future.
