Homecoming without Nostalgia: Local Communities and the Reintroduction of the Wild Forest Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus sennicus) in Finland Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-04-01 Juha Hiedanpää,Jani Pellikka
Wildlife translocations often raise concerns about the purpose and impact among people living in target locations. We applied the integrated impact assessment in planning the reintroduction of wild forest reindeer in Finland. We investigated the variety of expected socioecological impacts, the relative importance of these impacts and local willingness to participate in local-level reintroduction activities

Red in Tooth and Claw No More: Animal Rights and the Permissibility to Redesign Nature Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-04-01 Connor K. Kianpour,Eze Paez
Most non-human animals live in the wild and it is probable that suffering predominates in their lives due to natural events. Humans may at some point be able to engage in paradise engineering, or the modification of nature and animal organisms themselves, to improve the well-being of wild animals. We may, in other words, make nature 'red in tooth and claw' no more. We argue that this creates a tension

Unnatural Pumas and Domestic Foxes: Relations with Protected Predators and Conspiratorial Rumours in Southern Chile Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-04-01 Pelayo Benavides,Julián Caviedes
Human-wildlife conflicts involving protected predators are a major social and environmental problem worldwide. A critical aspect in such conflicts is the role of state institutions regarding predators' conservation, and how this is construed by affected local populations. These interpretations are frequently embodied in conspiratorial rumours, sharing some common traits related to wild and domestic

Justifying an Intentional Species Extinction: The Case of Anopheles gambiae Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-04-01 Daniel Edward Callies,Yasha Rohwer
Each year, over 200 million people are infected with the malaria parasite, nearly half a million of whom succumb to the disease. Emerging genetic technologies could, in theory, eliminate the burden of malaria throughout the world by intentionally eradicating the mosquitoes that transmit the disease. In this paper, we offer an ethical examination of the intentional eradication of Anopheles gambiae,

Rescaling the Weather Experience: From an Object of Aesthetics to a Matter of Concern Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-02-01 Madalina Diaconu
This paper analyses the cluster of aesthetic features involved in the common experience of the weather. Perceptual features (framelessness, chromatics, texture, synaesthesia, ephemerality, proteism) are accompanied by 'atmospheric' moods that are irreducible to physiological well-being. Representation and imagination reach their limits due to the more-than-human spatiotemporal scale of the atmosphere

Aesthetic Appreciation of Nature and the Global Environmental Crisis Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-02-01 Jukka Mikkonen
Global climate change has been characterised as the crisis of reason (Val Plumwood), imagination (Amitav Ghosh) and language (Elizabeth Rush), to mention some. The 'everything change', as Margaret Atwood calls it, arguably also impacts on how we aesthetically perceive, interpret and appreciate nature. This article looks at philosophical theories of nature appreciation against global environmental change

Three Decades of Environmental Values: Some Personal Reflections Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-02-01 Clive L. Spash
The journal Environmental Values is thirty years old. In this retrospective, as the retiring Editor-in-Chief, I provide a set of personal reflections on the changing landscape of scholarship in the field. This historical overview traces developments from the journal's origins in debates between philosophers, sociologists, and economists in the UK to the conflicts over policy on climate change, bio

Global Climate Change and Aesthetics Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-02-01 Emily Brady
What kinds of issues does the global crisis of climate change present to aesthetics, and how will they challenge the field to respond? This paper argues that a new research agenda is needed for aesthetics with respect to global climate change (GCC) and outlines a set of foundational issues which are especially pressing: (1) attention to environments that have been neglected by philosophers, for example

The Disorienting Aesthetics of Mashed-Up Anthropocene Environments Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-02-01 Marcello Di Paola,Serena Ciccarelli
This paper describes the disorienting aesthetics of some environments that are characteristic of the Anthropocene. We refer to these environments as 'mashed-up' and present three dimensions - phenomenological, epistemological and narrative - of the aesthetic disorientation they can trigger. We then advance the suggestion that a rich, nuanced and meaningful aesthetic experience of mashed-up Anthropocene

Grappling with Weeds: Invasive Species and Hybrid Landscapes in Cape York Peninsula, Far Northeast Australia Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Mardi Reardon-Smith
The control of various introduced species brings to the fore questions around how species are categorised as ‘native’ or ‘invasive’, belonging or not belonging. In far north Queensland, Australia, the Cape York region is a complex mixture of land tenures, including pastoral leases, National Parks and Aboriginal land, and overlapping management agreements. Weed control comprises much of the work that

Indigenous and Local Knowledge and Aesthetics: Towards an Intergenerational Aesthetics of Nature Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Nanda Jarosz
In a recent paper, Allen Carlson moves away from a purely scientific–cognitive framework for environmental aesthetics towards a ‘combination position’ based on the ecoaesthetics theorised by Xiangzhan Cheng. Carlson argues that only an aesthetics informed by ecological knowledge can offer the correct foundations for the continued relevance of environmental aesthetics to environmental ethics. However

Theory Roulette: Choosing that Climate Change is not a Tragedy of the Commons Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Jakob Ortmann,Walter Veit
Climate change mitigation has become a paradigm case both for externalities in general and for the game-theoretic model of the Tragedy of the Commons (ToC) in particular. This situation is worrying, as we have reasons to suspect that some models in the social sciences are apt to be performative to the extent that they can become self-fulfilling prophecies. Framing climate change mitigation as a hardly

Crunch Time: The Urgency to Take the Temporal Dimension of Sustainability Seriously Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Coline Ruwet
This paper argues that, to tackle the issue of sustainability, we should pay more attention to the temporality of socioecological processes. Only thus can we better understand current subjective and institutional constraints, as well as envision new potential pathways for transformative change. Two main arguments are developed: (1) there is a uniqueness in the temporality of Earth system processes

Legitimate Expectations: Assessing Policies of Transformation to a Low-Carbon Society Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Lukas H. Meyer,Santiago Truccone-Borgogno
Legitimate expectations should be considered in the transition to a low-carbon society. After explaining under what conditions and circumstances expectations are legitimate, this paper shows that those expectations whose frustration undermines the ability to plan, infringes basic moral rights, or is extremely costly for its bearer might justify a deviation in the baseline of justice in favour of the

Aesthetically Appreciating Animals: On The Abundant Herds Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Samantha Vice
This is an essay in appreciation of The Abundant Herds, a study of the amaZulu’s naming practices for their Nguni cattle. The book reveals an aesthetic vision in which contemplative and practical attention are intertwined and a complex classificatory system does not undermine an appreciation of the individuality of the cattle. The book and the practices it celebrates permit a richer account of the

Harmonising with Heaven and Earth: Reciprocal Harmony and Xunzi’s Environmental Ethics Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Yi Jonathan Chua
Xunzi’s philosophy provides a rich resource for understanding how ethical relationships between humans and nature can be articulated in terms of harmony. In this paper, I build on his ideas to develop the concept of reciprocal harmony, which requires us to reciprocate those who make our lives liveable. In the context of the environment, I argue that reciprocal harmony generates moral obligations towards

Sentience and the Primordial ‘We’: Contributions to Animal Ethics from Phenomenology and Buddhist Philosophy Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Anya Daly
This paper explores the ontological bases for ethical behaviour between human animals and non-human animals drawing on phenomenology and Buddhist philosophy. Alongside Singer and utilitarianism, I argue that ethical behaviour regarding animals is most effectively justified and motivated by considerations of sentience. Nonetheless, utilitarianism misses crucial aspects of sentience. Buddhist ethics

The Ecology of Fear and Climate Change: A Pragmatist Point of View Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Jerome Ballet,Damien Bazin,Emmanuel Petit
The ecology of fear has become a common rhetoric in efforts to support climate mitigation. The thesis of the collapse is an extreme version, asserting the inevitable collapse of the world. Fear, then, becomes the ultimate emotion for spurring action. In this article, drawing on the work of the pragmatist John Dewey, we show that fear is an ambiguous emotion. Dewey stressed the quality of an emotion

What’s in a Pandemic? COVID-19 and the Anthropocene Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Manuel Arias-Maldonado
After the viral outbreak that hit populations across the planet in the first half of 2020, it has been argued that the coronavirus pandemic can be described as a quintessential phenomenon of the Anthropocene, i.e. the result of a particular stage of socionatural relations in which wild habitats are invaded and anthropogenic climate change creates the conditions for the emergence of more frequent viral

Saving the Last Person from Radical Scepticism: How to Justify Attributions of Intrinsic Value to Nature Without Intuition or Empirical Evidence Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Alexander Pho,Allen Thompson
Toby Svoboda (2011, 2015) argues that humans cannot ever justifiably attribute intrinsic value to nature because we can never have evidence that any part of non-human nature has intrinsic value. We argue that, at best, Svoboda’s position leaves us with uncertainty about whether there is intrinsic value in the non-human natural world. This uncertainty, however, together with reason to believe that at

Experiencing Values in the Flow of Events: A Phenomenological Approach to Relational Values Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Christophe Gilliand
This paper explores the notion of 'relational values' from a phenomenological point of view. In the first place, it stresses that in order to make full sense of relational values, we need to approach them through a relational ontology that surpasses dualistic descriptions of the world structured around the subject and the object. With this aim, the paper turns to ecophenomenology's attempt to apprehend

The Eclosion of Forest and Tree Health Stakeholdership Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Norman Dandy,Emily F. Porth
The anthropogenic environmental change characteristic of the Anthropocene generates numerous threats and opportunities for the non-human beings who are intrinsic to forest and tree health. There are profound consequences for both humans and non-humans as a result of natural ecosystem disturbances, such as forest fires or invasive insects, and their accompanying environmental management responses. However

Justificatory Moral Pluralism: A Novel Form of Environmental Pragmatism Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Andre Santos Campos,Sofia Guedes Vaz
Moral reasoning typically informs environmental decision-making by measuring the possible outcomes of policies or actions in light of a preferred ethical theory. This method is subject to many problems. Environmental pragmatism tries to overcome them, but it suffers also from some pitfalls. This paper proposes a new method of environmental pragmatism that avoids the problems of both the traditional

A Critique of Steven Vogel's Social Constructionist Attempt to Overcome the Human/Nature Dichotomy Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Svein Anders Noer Lie
This paper analyses Steven Vogel's claim that his account of a post-natural environmental philosophy solves the dualism problem within the field. Through what I will call a novel critique of social constructionism, this paper examines whether Vogel's attempt succeeds or whether it reinforces the problem he wants to solve. Could the ontological foundations of social constructivism themselves be in conflict

Growing Trees for a Degrowth Society: An Approach to Switzerland’s Forest Sector Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Leonard Creutzburg
Forests are under immense stress globally. Economic growth is one reason for this: its impacts can lead to deforestation and put tremendous harvesting pressure on forests. In light of increasingly popular – and growth-based – bioeconomy strategies, the need for more wood is likely to accelerate. Degrowth, in contrast, rejects economic growth as the central economic principle, arguing that the material

Plant Philosophy and Interpretation: Making Sense of Contemporary Plant Intelligence Debates Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Yogi H Hendlin

Through the trope of ‘plant neurobiology’ describing plant root systems as analogous to animal brains and nervous systems, plant intelligence is mobilised

Why Economic Valuation Does Not Value the Environment: Climate Policy as Collective Endeavour Environmental Values (IF 1.831) Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Nicholas Bardsley,Graziano Ceddia,Rachel McCloy,Simone Pfuderer
Economics takes an individualistic approach to human behaviour. This is reflected in the use of ‘contingent valuation’ surveys to conduct cost benefit analysis for economic policy evaluation. An individual’s valuation of a policy is assumed to be unaffected by the burdens it places on others. We report a survey experiment to test this supposition in the context of climate change policy. Willingness
