Happy to share our new open-access paper, now out in Biological Conservation! https://lnkd.in/dpsBzRMB We addressed the social dimensions of the proposed reintroduction of hen harriers to southern England in the context of chronic conflicts surrounding the conservation of this species in the UK. 1.     The perspectives of local participants were overall positive, especially on the return of hen harriers 2.     The local socio-ecological context was perceived as suitable for the reintroduction 3.     Pre-release engagement led to positive social outcomes despite the conflictual national context 4.     Types of activities, timing, multi-sector team composition and open approach were key engagement elements 5.     The project holds bottom-up transformative potential for hen harriers and conflict management As always, thanks to all my co-authors Dave Hodgson Nell Williams Foley Robbie McDonald Sarah L Crowley I'm now working on publishing the results of my PhD research on the movement ecology of hen harriers. Looking forward to that!

A Conservationist ManifestoBy Scott Russell SandersIndiana University Press | 2009 | 256 pages    In his preface to A Conservationist Manifesto (Indiana University Press), Scott Russell Sanders writes, “As an antidote to this culture of consumption, extravagance, and waste that dominates America today, we need to imagine a culture of conservation.” A Conservationist Manifesto is about that imagining, a book that sets out to map “the practical, ecological, and ethical grounds for a conservation ethic” by arguing—in a series of 15 eloquently linked essays—that the practice of conservation is both a personal and a public virtue, that the fate of our built and natural communities, in all their integrated constructs, ultimately comes down to each of us, and to all of us. It is impossible to consider a “conservation ethic” without drawing a parallel to Aldo Leopold and his classic, A Sand County Almanac (and essays on conservation from Round River). And let me say from the get-go that A Conservationist Manifesto is as necessary, beautifully written, and important as A Sand County Almanac. It may not be as groundbreaking as Leopold’s collection of essays, perhaps, but it is just as essential. The single (but not overwhelming) criticism I’ve read of Manifesto is that its content is not fundamentally new. But Sanders is not after the fundamentally new in a literary context. Rather, he’s after a fundamental shift in the way we—that is, predominantly Americans—coexist on the planet. It is about speaking to readers as more than mere consumers, which is often how we act, but as conservationists. “The book does not set out to reinvent ecology, conservation, or the land ethic,” he told me recently. “It sets out to articulate those fundamental ideas and values in fresh ways, not only for the audience that is already concerned about the state of the planet, but for the larger audience that is either oblivious of or hostile to such thinking.” Sanders’ book is a finely crafted manifesto for getting from here to there, as Leopold’s classic is a manifesto for understanding the earth and so subscribing to a land ethic. “Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land,” writes Leopold in Round River. “By land is meant all of the things on, over, or in the earth. Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.” How, then, can we create and sustain an ethic of harmony with the land? “By building arks,” replies Sanders in his first essay. “The question,” he says, “is not whether we should use the earth, but to what degree and to what end.” Like Leopold, Sanders understands that harmony is a delicate yet critical balance between humans and the land, between the land and our machines—technical, emotional, and otherwise. We cannot pretend that humans are not a part of nature, nor can we assign absolute dominion over nature to humans. The

🔥 New post! | Biocultural diversity, the “new normal” in conservation: an interview with Chang Norman Liu, Terralingua’s Blog Editor When people think of conservation, often images of trees, water or animals come to mind. Many are led to believe that working in conservation means being a biologist, land manager or researcher. But there is a whole other component of conservation that many rising conservationists are not taught about: biocultural diversity.
