Biodiversity preservation is often viewed in utilitarian terms that render non-human species as ecosystem services or natural resources. The economic capture approach may be inadequate in addressing biodiversity loss because extinction of some species could conceivably come to pass without jeopardizing the survival of the humans. People might be materially sustained by a technological biora made to yield services and products required for human life. The failure to address biodiversity loss calls for an exploration of alternative paradigms. It is proposed that the failure to address biodiversity loss stems from the fact that ecocentric value holders are politically marginalized and underrepresented in the most powerful strata of society. While anthropocentric concerns with environment and private expressions of biophilia are acceptable in the wider society, the more pronounced publicly expressed deep ecology position is discouraged. “Radical environmentalists” are among the least understood of all contemporary opposition movements, not only in tactical terms, but also ethically. The article argues in favor of the inclusion of deep ecology perspective as an alternative to the current anthropocentric paradigm. https://doi.org/10.1080/1943815X.2012.742914 https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/

Camera trap technology has galvanized the study of predator-prey ecology in wild animal communities by expanding the scale and diversity of predator-prey interactions that can be analyzed. While observational data from systematic camera arrays have informed inferences on the spatiotemporal outcomes of predator-prey interactions, the capacity for observational studies to identify mechanistic drivers of species interactions is limited. Experimental study designs that utilize camera traps uniquely allow for testing hypothesized mechanisms that drive predator and prey behavior, incorporating environmental realism not possible in the lab while benefiting from the distinct capacity of camera traps to generate large data sets from multiple species with minimal observer interference. However, such pairings of camera traps with experimental methods remain underutilized. We review recent advances in the experimental application of camera traps to investigate fundamental mechanisms underlying predator-prey ecology and present a conceptual guide for designing experimental camera trap studies. Only 9% of camera trap studies on predator-prey ecology in our review mention experimental methods, but the application of experimental approaches is increasing. To illustrate the utility of camera trap-based experiments using a case study, we propose a study design that integrates observational and experimental techniques to test a perennial question in predator-prey ecology: how prey balance foraging and safety, as formalized by the risk allocation hypothesis. We discuss applications of camera trap-based experiments to evaluate the diversity of anthropogenic influences on wildlife communities globally. Finally, we review challenges to conducting experimental camera trap studies. Experimental camera trap studies have already begun to play an important role in understanding the predator-prey ecology of free-living animals, and such methods will become increasingly critical to quantifying drivers of community interactions in a rapidly changing world. We recommend increased application of experimental methods in the study of predator and prey responses to humans, synanthropic and invasive species, and other anthropogenic disturbances.

Thinking about care in the organization of an ecology is central to the interdisciplinary research group Care Ecologies; found during a lockdown in the spring of 2021 and hosted by ARIAS Platform for Research Through the Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam. In Towards Becoming an Ecology of Care group members Valentina Curandi, Inte Gloerich, Ania Molenda, Maaike Muntinga, Natalia Sanchez Querubin, Nienke Scholts and Marloeke van der Vlugt, offer an initial articulation on their approaches and principles – performative practices, reflection, speculations - of what an ecology of care could be. While each bringing in different understandings of care, staying with those differences shaped the ways in which the agenda of the research group has been (un)settled. To exchange knowledge and experiences, the group uses various on- and off-line frameworks, like presentations and practice sessions. Exploring how activities that sustain a research group – coordinating, meeting, writing and documenting – may be done with care, this paper attempts to present a speculative proposition for functioning as a research ecology on and around care. Bringing into focus what care can do, while being attentive to what is neglected. This is not only done in writing but also becomes visible in the accompanying images compiled of material and immaterial memories. It is an ongoing process, for which the writing of this paper became a catalyst for reflection. While not aiming for clear answers the authors invite themselves and others to become more aware, devising and testing work strategies for care-based practices.

This article focuses on the role of ethical perspectives such as deep ecology and animal rights in relation to environmental education, arguing that such perspectives are well-placed to reposition students as responsible planetary citizens. We focus on the linkage between non-consequentialism, animal rights, and deep ecology in an educational context and discuss the broader issue of ethics in education. Finally, we discuss how the inclusion of deep ecology and animal rights perspectives would improve current environmental education programs by deepening the respect for nonhumans and their inclusion in the ethical community. https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/

Wat gebeurt er als een soort een nieuw gebied koloniseert? Welke resources zijn er beschikbaar? Welke bedreigingen moeten ze het hoofd bieden? Hoe zal de populatie zich ontwikkelen? In dit rollenspel beredeneren jullie dat zelf!Beschrijf en teken hoe een populatie zich vestigt, groeit en misschien weer krimpt aan de hand van 8 vaste scenario’s die zijn afgestemd op de kerndoelen van de bovenbouw Biologie, maar zijn ook geschikt voor hoger onderwjis. Het gaat bij de scenario’s vooral om het beredeneren: wat is vanuit een ecologische context logisch volgens jou?Belangrijke Tip: Hou de tekeningen eenvoudig en het tekenen kort. Maak je niet druk om je tekenskills! Plezier is belangrijker dan perfectie.

Om op innovatieve manier te kunnen inspelen op de maatschappelijke uitdaging van transitie naar een gezond en duurzaam landschap, zoeken landschapsontwerpbureau Sight Landscaping en veldbiologisch onderzoeksbureau Faunatech alternatieve manieren om het landschap en de biodiversiteit daarin te beleven. Het Sense Ecology onderzoeksproject start vanuit een nieuw samenwerkingsverband tussen MKB Sight Landscaping, Faunatech en geitenhouderij Ter Veen. Het betreft een onderzoek naar co-created leer- en praktijkmodules binnen de experimentele leeromgeving, het fieldlab, dat middels dit project zal worden ontwikkeld. De activiteiten zullen plaatsvinden op een buitenlocatie van Terra, het SuikerTerrein in Groningen, waar ruime ervaring is opgebouwd met praktijkgericht onderzoek. Dit samenwerkingsverband met de creatieve sector zal mede middels het onderzoeksprogramma een structureel karakter krijgen. De verwachting is dat de samenwerking bouwstenen zal aanleveren voor nieuwe praktijktoepassingen, zoals vernieuwende groenontwerpen of technologische applicaties gericht op ecologische, esthetische en zintuiglijke ervaring van de bezoeker en/of consument; duurzame kennisontwikkeling en praktische, vernieuwende leermodules voor zowel de praktijkpartners, als MBO en HBO onderwijs, waarbij nadruk ligt op de ontwikkeling van transitievaardigheden; en dat voorgenomen activiteiten, waaronder kennisbijeenkomsten, expositie, en hands-on workshops met kunstenaars, landschapsarchitecten en ecologen, zal leiden tot netwerkverbreding in de regio. Sense Ecology wordt als een langdurig onderzoeksprogramma ontwikkeld door Laura Boomsma en Dr. Judith van der Elst binnen het kader van de Kenniskring Kunst & Samenleving, lectoraat Kunst & Duurzaamheid van de Hanzehogeschool Groningen, in samenwerking met Terra MBO. De nieuwe onderzoekslijn heeft als doel om zintuiglijke waarneming van de omringende omgeving te verrijken middels artistiek gedreven methoden. Het kijkt ook naar de rol van kunst en technologie in het gewaar- en bewustworden van, voor de mens vaak, onzichtbare ecologische systemen. Hiermee beantwoordt het de vraag vanuit de samenleving om meer aandacht te besteden aan leefbaarheid en gezondheid van onze leefomgeving.
We are currently in the middle of the transformation from Martin Heidegger’s modern society to a society based on digital technology. In the developing digital society, humans in their current state of ‘Being’ are increasingly surrounded by systems that are networked and run based on algorithms, software, and data. These interconnected systems function, communicate, and interact in networks and driven by these algorithms, software, and data, which give them the ability to connect, calculate, and reveal. Jointly, these systems thus create a new and actual reality based on their mathematical and scientific background. In the present-day digital society, humans’ actual ‘state of Being’ is increasingly framed by what the digital technology reveals to us and enables. The transition to this new digital reality conjures up more and more questions as to whether we as humans sufficiently understand the essence of digital technology and whether we as humanity have sufficient knowledge and insight to be able to analyze and fathom the essence of the new digital ecology around us. In this article, I will use Heideggerian phenomenology as a philosophy to create a framework that will allow us to, based on phenomenological research into our current ‘Dasein’ or ‘being there’, gain deeper insight into the ‘Being’ of digital technology and the ensuing development of a digital reality for humanity as a whole.
