Planning for biodiversity
Biodiversity in urban environments is recognised as a priority for cities worldwide, with initiatives promoted to benefit both human and non-human inhabitants of these spaces. This study contribute
Monitoring materialities
An increased interest in Arctic regions as places of data generation to inform climate models, reports, and policies on environmental change has created a distinct kind of landscape, transformed by the material legacy of short and long-term monitoring and other scientific activities. Drawing from fieldwork in four key areas for environmental monitoring in the High North of Norway, Sweden, and Greenland, we investigate the intentional and unintent…
Value conflicts and co-existence in ecosystem restoration
The values attributed to nature are evolving in response to anthropogenic climate change and the increasingly bleak prospects of the impact of environmental degradation for sustainability. Although
This is not nature restoration, this is a technical installation
Ecosystem restoration promises to counter and even reverse the negative impacts of anthropogenic environmental change to meet current as well as future challenges and human needs. At the same time, restoration projects happen in landscapes of already ongoing processes of change and disruption, with long temporal frames of human-land entanglements and histories. This study investigates a previously drained agricultural landscape in Denmark which w…
Monitoring and Managing Human Stressors to Coastal Cultural Heritage in Svalbard
Svalbard’s cultural heritage sites are important remnants of an international history in the High North. Cultural heritage in the Arctic is being impacted by climate and environmental change as well as increased human activity. Tourism is a potential cause of transformation in cultural heritage sites, such as increased wear and tear, creation of paths and traces as people walk through cultural environments. Cultural heritage management is therefo…
Representations of child welfare services in Norwegian, Danish and German newspapers
Child welfare services are often scrutinized in media reports, but few comparisons of how services are represented in different countries are available. The aim of this article is to assess whether systematic differences in the representation of child welfare services in Norwegian, Danish and German newspapers can be documented. A content analysis of major newspapers in each country revealed considerable differences among the countries. While Nor…
Hunter opinions on the management of migratory geese
Knowledge of hunter attitudes toward goose management is essential for the involvement of hunters in adaptive harvest management. Our study provides insight into processes of stakeholder involvement in adaptive harvest management, as demonstrated by the case of implementing the International Species Management Plan for the Svalbard-breeding pink-footed goose (Anser brachyrhynchus). We conducted an online survey among goose hunters in Norway in th…
The role of religion in local perceptions of disasters
This paper explores religious perceptions of disasters and their implications for post-disaster processes of religious and cultural change. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in post-tsunami Samoa, this study investigates how people in two tsunami-affected villages make sense of the tsunami, its causes and impact based on different Christian understandings: the tsunami as divine punishment or as a sign of the Second Coming. I argue that these differ…
Cultural Heritage and Ecosystem Services
During the last decade, we have witnessed an increased interest in Ecosystem Services (ES), including the so-called 'cultural ecosystem services' and its subcategory of 'cultural heritage'. In this article, a review of academic literature of ES and cultural heritage is carried out. ES has primarily been developed by scholars from the ecological and economic disciplines, and in this article, we discuss how this impacts the way in which cultural he…
