Trophy hunting debates reveal a deeper issue: why do we frame conservation as "what's useful to humans"? As Chapron notes, consequentialist justifications (trophy hunting "funds conservation") miss the point entirely.

"Wonder, which is the heart of enchantment, is itself fully relational. Always enchantment by, wonder at... It's also ecological."

Why the “house of modernity”, which is built on a foundation of humanity’s separation from the rest of nature, is structured to ultimately fail…
So what can we do?

The broadest possible view is the ecological, complex and interconnected Earth system view. 🌏
Everything else is subject to a healthy, functional, life supporting planetary environment.
Everything else is minor!

An intractable legal ownership question has prevented #ScottishWildlifeTrust conservation activity at the Black Devon site for decades. At first this feels sad, but perhaps #Nature has been managing fine by herself. #Rewilding #Environment #Ecocentrism

One of the inconvenient truths is that it is precisely sustainable development, in the sense of sustaining economic or industrial development, that is a problem for biodiversity conservation. The need for #ecocentrism in #biodiversity #conservation:

🌲 🛜 🏙️ Taylor Hood expands on Han's critique of our obsession with digital 'non-things', placing the book deeper into the discourse on #enchantment. He argues that cultivating #ecocentrism involves restoring ties to the things that give life meaning.

IPBES has become influential in the discussion about #inclusion & #biodiversity #conservation. Yet presently this "inclusion" is reserved for a single species #anthropocentric. We urge #IPBES to become truly inclusive of #ecocentrism. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Tickling the Tsaheylu:
Humans are not supernatural beings. This might, on the face of it, sound like a statement with which the vast majority of us agree. However, it is anything but. Western Agro-industrial civilization holds at it's heart two overriding principles. Principles that it shares […]
Are #biocentrism, #ecocentrism & #holism just desperate attempts to avoid the ethics of sentient animal agriculture & exploitation?
A powerful way, in fact the only way, to reject this accusation is to be vegan.
Without that, aren't these stances just #anthropocentrism's masks?

Hello, Bluesky!
We're eager to learn how to turn #ecocentrism from a high moral ideal into actual daily practice on the ground. Submissions for Vol 8 No 2 are open until the deadline of the end of February 2025.

Sentience is way more common in nature than the exploiters would have you believe. It's time for a massive paradigm shift in the way we treat non-human animals.

"Indigenous ecological knowledge deserves to be taken
