John Donne did not pen his immortal lines in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss and yet his meditation on ‘For whom the bell tolls’ can all too easily be applied to the situation facing humanity in the Anthropocene. ‘No man is an island’ – indeed we are not, acutely aware as we now are of the life support systems that ‘spaceship Earth’ provides us and the impact that our actions have on them. As for ‘never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee’ – with each passing extinction (some noted, most not) we diminish ourselves and increase the likelihood of the bell tolling for us as we undermine the ecosystem services which support us and risk triggering extinction cascades. A much more recent piece of art and one created in response to this situation is Luke Jerram’s Extinction Bell, currently on display in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh (see Figures 1 and 2). The bell tolls at random intervals between 150 and 200 times a day with each toll sounding the death knell for a species. Jerram designed Extinction Bell in response to a message released by the United Nations Environment

This article traces the colonial origins of a crucial aspect of the environmentalist discourse since the mid-twentieth century – the idea that planetary substances should be stripped of ownership rights and become in and of themselves the subject of rights. The article looks closely at the Gaza region under British mandatory rule to explain how the rehabilitation of Gaza city, devastated during WWI, has failed. Gaza’s reconstruction efforts, the article argues, collided with the British initiative to arrest the drift of dunes along the coast of southern Palestine. Throughout this project, the British administration extinguished Arab property and usufruct rights to expand state domains. They backed this policy with an elaborate ecological perception that saw sand and its inhabitants as agents of environmental ruin. The quarrel that has developed thus made the Gaza region an imperial test ground for probing what sand is? Does it have a history? And, therefore, can it be claimed as an object of rights? Divorcing nature from culture, the British administration in Palestine rejected the validity of sandy lands’ economic past and constructed them as inhospitable ‘wastelands’ – a purely natural element. As such, sands could be subjected to governmental ‘development’ through afforestation and urbanisation while time-honoured agricultural practices and land rights of the local coastal population were neglected.
