Even 'hands off' approaches to conservation such as rewilding are intimately, sometimes violently, involved in the lives and deaths of the other-than-human species they seek to protect. Foucauldian biopolitics, with its exploration of the regulation of life and death, is increasingly being used to examine the control of other-than-human species. This article extends the work of other scholars by applying the concept of biopolitics to rewilding in England. A comparative case study of two rewilding sites (the Avalon Marshes in Somerset and Wild Ennerdale in Cumbria) identified common modes of biopolitics operating at both sites. These modes were animals/species as: expendable objects, machines/human proxies, analogues, and self-determining agents, all of which 'allowed' different levels of agency for the species concerned. Given that field sites were purposively selected to display contrasting contexts it is possible to extrapolate from the Avalon Marshes and Wild Ennerdale and propose that these biopolitical modes are operating at other English rewilding sites.
即使是“放手”的保护方法,比如重新放养,也会密切地,有时甚至是暴力地卷入他们试图保护的非人类物种的生死之中。福柯式的生命政治学,随着其对生死调控的探索,越来越多地被用于检验对非人类物种的控制。本文扩展了其他学者的工作,将生物政治学的概念应用于英国的野生化。对两个野生地(萨默塞特郡的阿瓦隆沼泽和坎布里亚郡的Wild Ennerdale)的比较案例研究确定了在这两个地点运行的共同生物政治模式。这些模式是动物/物种:可消耗的对象,机器/人类代理,类似物和自我决定的代理,所有这些都“允许”有关物种的不同级别的代理。考虑到野外地点被有意选择以显示对比的背景,有可能从Avalon沼泽和Wild Ennerdale进行推断,并提出这些生物政治模式在其他英国野化地点也在运作。

The ‘Fluid Landscape’ of the Sundarbans: Critically Reviewing the ‘Managed Retreat’ Discourse 孙德尔本斯的“流动景观”:批判性地回顾“管理撤退”话语

The Sundarbans, spread across 10,200 sq. km in the lower deltaic region of Bengal, is the world's largest pro-grading delta. Most climatologists acknowledge that this fragile ecosystem, cutting across Bangladesh and India, will bear the brunt of climate change. It is estimated that the region, facing sea level rise and intensification of cyclonic activities, will experience the disastrous effects of global warming; and scientists have been expressing their concerns about the viability of human settlements there in the foreseeable future. In India, some researchers have floated the idea of 'Managed Retreat' of people from certain areas of the deltaic floodplains in a bid to 'conserve the mangroves and the ecosystem' of the Sundarbans. This postulation, first published as the Delta Vision: 2050 for the World-Wide-Fund for Nature India (WWF-India) in 2011, and discussed in the following years, in various platforms and research journals, has been advocating a 'phased and systematic outmigration' (Ghosh 2012) from the region, citing the 'Dutch Room for River' project as an exemplary ideal to be mirrored. This article will try to unpack the impact of this proposal on the local communities, living in tandem with the deltaic landscape for generations, if such a strategy is adopted.
孙德尔本斯占地10200平方公里。位于孟加拉下游三角洲地区,是世界上最大的顺级三角洲。大多数气候学家承认,这个横跨孟加拉国和印度的脆弱生态系统将首当其冲地受到气候变化的影响。据估计,该地区面临海平面上升和气旋活动加剧,将遭受全球变暖的灾难性影响;科学家们一直对可预见的未来人类在那里定居的可行性表示担忧。在印度,一些研究人员提出了将人们从三角洲洪泛平原的某些地区“管理撤退”的想法,以“保护孙德尔本斯的红树林和生态系统”。2011年,世界自然基金会印度分会(WWF-India)首次以“三角洲愿景:2050”的形式发表了这一假设,并在随后的几年里,在各种平台和研究期刊上进行了讨论。该假设一直倡导从该地区“分阶段和系统地向外迁移”(Ghosh 2012),并以“荷兰河屋”项目为例,作为一个模范理想。如果采用这样的策略,本文将试图揭示该提案对当地社区的影响,这些社区世世代代与三角洲景观生活在一起。

The Small British Cat Debate: Conservation Non-Issues And The (Im)mobility Of Wildlife Controversies 小型英国猫的辩论:保护的非问题和(Im)野生动物的流动性争议
Pub Date : 2022-05-16 DOI: 10.4103/cs.cs_92_21

This article examines why cat predation is not on the agenda for most UK-focused conservation NGOs. Drawing on interviews and an analysis of scientific literatures and social media, I show that there are genuine epistemic uncertainties about whether cat predation presents a widespread conservation problem in the UK. This means that characterising NGOs' position as science denialism is unjustified. However, I argue that NGOs may wish to avoid looking into the issue too closely, due to a belief that the matter is irresolvable: a view founded on assumptions about what the British public thinks, and what politicians think the public thinks. Finally, I show that while there is little fighting about cats between conservationists and cat advocates, cats are readily 'grafted' onto existing disagreements about gamekeeping and predator control. I conclude that the small British cat debate is unlikely to get any bigger in future, and that the case illustrates the importance of bringing together social science literatures on NGO politics, science and technology, and human-animal relationships when seeking to understand 'issue creation' by conservation NGOs. Furthermore, it highlights the need to attend to local cultures, practices, and ecologies rather than assuming that issues will translate across contexts.
这篇文章探讨了为什么捕食猫不在大多数以英国为重点的保护非政府组织的议程上。通过对科学文献和社交媒体的采访和分析,我表明,在英国,猫科动物捕食是否存在广泛的保护问题,存在真正的认知不确定性。这意味着将非政府组织的立场定性为科学否定主义是不合理的。然而,我认为非政府组织可能希望避免对这个问题进行过于深入的研究,因为他们认为这个问题是无法解决的:这种观点建立在对英国公众的看法,以及政治家对公众看法的假设之上。最后,我表明,虽然动物保护主义者和猫的拥护者之间很少有关于猫的争论,但猫很容易被“嫁接”到现存的关于猎场保护和捕食者控制的分歧中。我的结论是,关于英国猫的争论不太可能在未来变得更大,而且这个案例说明了在寻求理解保护非政府组织的“议题创造”时,将非政府组织政治、科技和人与动物关系的社会科学文献结合起来的重要性。此外,它强调了关注当地文化、习俗和生态的必要性,而不是假设问题会在不同的背景下转化。

Going Back to the Roots: Ubuntu and Just Conservation in Southern Africa 回到根源:南部非洲的乌班图和公正保护
Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.4103/cs.cs_33_21

Given growing human influence on the earth system's functioning, caring for nature has never been this critical. However, whether for economic interests or 'wilderness' preservation, attempts to save nature have been grounded on a Western scientific philosophy of separating it from people's ways of living, especially through 'protected areas'. Under the banner 'convivial conservation', which advocates socio-ecological justice and structural transformations in the global economic system, an alternative idea called 'promoted areas' has been proposed, advocating for conservation which promotes nature for, to, and by humans. Here, we argue that 'promoted areas' are best fitted with decolonial thinking in conservation science and practice. In southern Africa, one available 'decolonial option' is Ubuntu philosophy, which is anchored on the ethical principle of promoting life through mutual caring and sharing between and among humans and nonhumans. Ubuntu disengages from western ways of knowing about human–environment interactions, as it is predicated on promoting the many links between humans and nonhumans. From this, we argue that instituted through Ubuntu, 'promoted areas' re-initiate a harmony between human beings and physical nature, as practices of individualistic, excessive extractions of nonhuman nature are discouraged, and human–nonhuman relationships based on respect, solidarity, and collaboration are celebrated.
鉴于人类对地球系统功能的影响越来越大,保护自然从来没有像现在这样重要。然而,无论是为了经济利益还是为了保护“荒野”,拯救自然的尝试都建立在一种西方科学哲学的基础上,即把自然与人们的生活方式分开,特别是通过“保护区”。在倡导社会生态正义和全球经济体系结构转型的“欢乐保护”的旗帜下,一种名为“促进区”的替代理念被提出,倡导为人类、为人类、由人类促进自然的保护。在这里,我们认为“促进区”最适合保护科学和实践中的非殖民化思维。在南部非洲,一个可行的“非殖民化选择”是乌班图哲学,它以人类和非人类之间通过相互关心和分享来促进生命的伦理原则为基础。Ubuntu脱离了西方关于人与环境相互作用的认识方式,因为它基于促进人类与非人类之间的许多联系。由此,我们认为,通过Ubuntu建立的“促进区域”重新启动了人类与自然之间的和谐,因为个人主义的做法,对非人类自然的过度提取被阻止,基于尊重,团结和合作的人类-非人类关系得到了庆祝。

Convivial Conservation from the Bottom Up: Human-Bear Cohabitation in the Rodopi Mountains of Bulgaria 从下到上的欢乐保护:保加利亚Rodopi山脉的人熊同居
Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.4103/cs.cs_208_20

This article describes a case of human-bear cohabitation in the Rodopi mountains (Yagodina-Trigrad area) of Bulgaria. The lack of protected areas in the region and the increasing number of brown bears (Ursus arctos) have resulted in both human-wildlife conflicts and the development of mechanisms and practices to facilitate cohabitation in the absence of formal rules to regulate coexistence of human and nonhuman species. However, these mechanisms and practices are currently undergoing transformations due to newfound protection of the species under national and EU legislation, respectively. The paper explores these dynamics through a case study of relatively successful cohabitation in the region. Our analysis identifies and outlines local adaptation and conservation mechanisms developed to live with bears as well as strategies to benefit from the bears' presence. In this way, the study contributes to current debates concerning how to best facilitate 'convivial conservation' promoting coexistence between humans and wildlife by identifying factors in this case that have facilitated a bottom-up approach to cohabitation that might be tested or adopted for use in similar situations elsewhere.
这篇文章描述了保加利亚Rodopi山脉(Yagodina-Trigrad地区)人熊同居的一个案例。该地区保护区的缺乏和棕熊(Ursus arctos)数量的增加导致了人类与野生动物之间的冲突,以及在没有正式规则来规范人类和非人类物种共存的情况下促进共存的机制和实践的发展。然而,由于国家和欧盟立法对该物种的新保护,这些机制和做法目前正在发生转变。本文通过对该地区相对成功的同居案例研究来探讨这些动态。我们的分析确定并概述了与熊一起生活的当地适应和保护机制,以及从熊的存在中获益的策略。通过这种方式,该研究有助于当前关于如何最好地促进“欢乐保护”促进人类与野生动物共存的争论,通过确定本案例中促进自下而上的同居方法的因素,该方法可能被测试或采用,用于其他类似情况。

Conviviality in Disrupted Socionatural Landscapes: Ecological Peacebuilding around Akagera National Park 破坏社会自然景观中的欢乐:阿卡盖拉国家公园周围的生态和平建设
Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.4103/cs.cs_24_21

Convivial conservation presents itself as a vision of radical cohabitation across the Whole Earth, requiring people at the fringes of protected areas or people everywhere to manage day-to-day coexistence and conflicts with non-human species. This article assesses human-wildlife conflict interventions—an electric fence, compensation for wildlife damages, and traditional ecological knowledge—in a disrupted socionatural landscape, Akagera National Park in Rwanda, from the perspective of a framework of ecological peace. Ecological peace is defined through Galtung's (1969) theory of negative peace (freedom from direct violence) and positive peace (freedom from physical, cultural, and structural violence) as applied to relations between human and non-human species. While barriers and compensation schemes may make sense from the perspective of the conservation community's interests in reducing the negative impacts of wildlife on people, or vice versa, and especially towards improving people's perceptions of wildlife and environmental conservation, these human-wildlife conflict interventions may offer only negative ecological peace. Convivial conservation requires human-wildlife conflict interventions to go beyond negative and liberal peace approaches towards positive ecological peace to transform human and non-human relations for radical cohabitation across the Whole Earth.
欢乐保护将自己呈现为一种在整个地球上激进共存的愿景,要求保护区边缘的人们或世界各地的人们管理与非人类物种的日常共存和冲突。本文从生态和平框架的角度,评估了在卢旺达阿卡格拉国家公园被破坏的社会自然景观中,人类与野生动物冲突的干预措施——电力围栏、野生动物损害赔偿和传统生态知识。生态和平是通过Galtung(1969)的消极和平(免于直接暴力)和积极和平(免于身体、文化和结构暴力)理论定义的,适用于人类和非人类物种之间的关系。从减少野生动物对人类的负面影响(反之亦然),特别是改善人们对野生动物和环境保护的认识的角度来看,障碍和补偿方案可能是有意义的,但这些人类与野生动物冲突的干预可能只会带来负面的生态和平。欢乐保护需要人类与野生动物冲突的干预,超越消极和自由的和平方法,走向积极的生态和平,将人类和非人类关系转变为整个地球的激进共存。

Convivial Conservation Prospects in Europe—From Wilderness Protection to Reclaiming the Commons 欧洲的欢乐保护前景——从荒野保护到公地开垦
Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.4103/cs.cs_35_21

Recent high-end EU discussions on biodiversity conservation support the strict protection of wild nature, thereby amplifying concerns about environmental and social injustices. Parallelly, grass-roots and academic proposals advocate for the fair recognition of community-protected areas and broader political negotiations regarding human–wildlife interactions. This paper argues that land commons offer valuable lessons toward implementing the convivial conservation vision as advanced by Büscher and Fletcher (2019). For example, the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 endorses strict protection of wild nature as a core element of economic relaunching. However, the focus on wild nature rules out the development of various biodiversity hotspots under human impact. Against this strict separation, various initiatives converge to make visible the efforts of indigenous peoples and local communities who combine resource governance with biodiversity conservation beyond free-market logics and human–nature dichotomies. This contribution takes the case of the Romanian forest commons and explores the synergies between these historical institutions and the convivial conservation proposal which advances post-capitalist conservation politics. The paper argues that the translation of conviviality to concrete pathways towards transformation is timely in Europe, and the commons offer valuable lessons which could advance a transition to more democratic and just forms of conservation.
最近欧盟关于生物多样性保护的高端讨论支持严格保护野生自然,从而放大了对环境和社会不公正的担忧。与此同时,基层和学术建议主张公平承认社区保护区,并就人类与野生动物的相互作用进行更广泛的政治谈判。本文认为,公地为实施谢尔和弗莱彻(2019)提出的欢乐保护愿景提供了宝贵的经验。例如,《欧盟2030年生物多样性战略》赞同将严格保护野生自然作为经济重启的核心要素。然而,对野生自然的关注排除了人类影响下各种生物多样性热点的发展。在这种严格分离的背景下,各种举措汇聚在一起,使土著人民和当地社区的努力得以显现,他们超越了自由市场逻辑和人与自然二分法,将资源治理与生物多样性保护结合起来。这篇文章以罗马尼亚森林公地为例,探讨了这些历史机构与推动后资本主义保护政治的欢快保护建议之间的协同作用。本文认为,在欧洲,将享乐主义转化为具体的转型途径是及时的,公地提供了宝贵的经验,可以促进向更民主和公正的保护形式的过渡。

Reintegrating wolves in human-dominated landscapes constitutes a significant conservation challenge. After decades of studying human-wolf interactions through a conflict lens, there is growing recognition that more nuanced perspectives are needed. However, this recognition has hitherto yielded few practical changes, and few have studied what underpins successful coexistence. Here we show that disproportionate focus on and resource allocation to conflict within conservation programmes risks undermining existing convivial relationships with large carnivores. Using a coexistence lens, we studied human-wolf interactions in Sanabria-La Carballeda in Spain; the region has one of the highest densities of wolves in Europe. We explored the underlying social and ecological conditions that have permitted both wolves and people to persist in the area, studied the mutual impacts, and surveyed how interactions are influenced by broader socio-economic processes. The findings of this novel approach to studying human-wildlife interactions elucidates how areas of functional coexistence have been neglected in policy, leaving them vulnerable to depopulation, low agricultural profitability, and the loss of biocultural diversity. When institutions fail to support functional coexistence, we risk losing the knowledge, the traditions and the trust of those who have sustained Europe's large carnivores, thereby undermining transitions to more convivial human-wildlife interactions in the future.
在人类主导的景观中重新整合狼构成了重大的保护挑战。经过几十年从冲突的角度研究人与狼的互动,人们越来越认识到需要更细致入微的视角。然而,迄今为止,这种认识几乎没有产生实际的变化,也很少有人研究是什么支撑了成功的共存。在这里,我们表明,在保护计划中,对冲突的不成比例的关注和资源分配可能会破坏与大型食肉动物现有的欢乐关系。利用共存透镜,我们研究了西班牙萨纳布里亚-拉卡巴列达的人狼互动;该地区是欧洲狼密度最高的地区之一。我们探索了允许狼和人在该地区持续存在的潜在社会和生态条件,研究了相互影响,并调查了更广泛的社会经济过程如何影响相互作用。这种研究人类与野生动物相互作用的新方法的发现阐明了功能共存的领域如何在政策中被忽视,使它们容易受到人口减少、农业利润低下和生物文化多样性丧失的影响。当制度不能支持功能性共存时,我们就有可能失去那些维持欧洲大型食肉动物生存的人的知识、传统和信任,从而破坏未来人类与野生动物之间更愉快互动的过渡。
