What do we see when we look through the “anthromes lens”
Societal Impact Statement The environmental impacts of anthropogenic activities are planetary in scale. The study of human‐environment relations now involves global datasets about social factors. We discuss one of such datasets organized around land use categories called “anthromes”. These categories are used for mapping the terrestrial biosphere throughout history according to human population and agricultural land uses. This opinion piece exami…

L’ange Gabriel dans la forêt du centre du Chili
Dans cet essai ethnographique, j’explore la façon dont la forêt du centre du Chili se transforme. D’abord intéressée par les processus écologiques qui influencent la recomposition de la forêt après les perturbations anthropiques, je constate que la forêt devient difficile à situer dans le paysage socioéconomique. Dans une légende locale, l’ange Gabriel tue le diable pris dans la forêt par les fils de son poncho, qui se défait en s’accrochant aux …

Landscapes of Anticipation of the Other
The management of the Søby Brunkulslejer (the Søby brown coal area) landscape for deer hunting gives it a particular arrangement characterized by the alternation of dense forest, open clearings, and hochsitz (raised hunting blinds). Following the practices of landowners, hunters, and managers in the area, as situated and vernacular knowledges of deer behavior, perception, and habitat preferences (that is, as ethno-ethological knowledge), we show …

Conservation Science and Contemporary Art
Art has long been seen as a way to illustrate conservation science for public outreach, especially to children. However, art has a greater role to play as a partner in interdisciplinary practice. Here we explore four examples where early-career conservationists have used the production of artwork inspired by contemporary art movements to engage critically and emotionally through the formalisms of art with conservation issues on the island of Tene…
Personal reflections on natural history as common ground for interdisciplinary multispecies socio‐ecological research
Interdisciplinary research between social and environmental sciences can meet difficulties when attempting to combine qualitative and quantitative field methods. Natural history, largely sidelined from professional science, may have value as a practice with elements common to the social and environmental sciences. In this commentary, I reflect on my own natural history knowledge and practice related to my primary research habitat in central Chile…

Comment to: Bortolus, A. 2012. Running like Alice and losing good ideas: On the quasi-compulsive use of English by non-native English speaking scientists. AMBIO 41: 769–772. doi:10.1007/s13280-012-0339-5. Writing in Ambio, Bortolus (2012) recently argued that many non-native English-speaking environmental scientists invest a disproportionate amount of time in over-coming language barriers, limiting the impact of their research, and constraining t…
Nostalgia, the Fleeting, and the Rare in Chilean Relationships to Nature and Nonhuman Species
Semi-structured interviews and participant observation were used to understand how urban Chileans form relationships with nature and nonhuman species in central Chile. Most informants expressed dislike of the typical mediterranean-habitat landscape, characterizing it as dry, poor, and empty. Yet many people expressed nostalgic attachment to specific places, species, and activities that they had experienced, often as children. Most of the reminisc…
