Why the Anthropocene Epoch is a more pertinent concept than the Anthropocene event for understanding ongoing Earth system transition
While the Anthropocene Working Group proposed in 2023 to formally recognize the Anthropocene Epoch with a lower boundary ~1950, the International Commission on Stratigraphy subsequently decided to reject the proposal. Instead, some scientists have argued, the Anthropocene is better understood as an 'event' with no temporal boundary. This article argues that the Anthropocene as an event idea is deeply problematic due to four major logical issues: …
Rethinking the Anthropocene
Tourism and sustainability at a crossroads in Shiretoko Unesco World Natural Heritage Site in Japan
Sensitive natural environments of World Natural Heritage Sites (WNHS) are prone to damage from anthropogenic stressors including tourism. This article analyzes the case of Shiretoko Peninsula in Japan and identifies several challenges for natural heritage tourism. Shiretoko Peninsula is known for the connectivity between rich marine and terrestrial ecosystems symbolized by the formation of seasonal sea ice and the occurrence of several endangered…
Can tourism contribute to environmentally sustainable development? Arguments from an ecological limits perspective
Emplacing non-human voices in tourism research
Although tourism shares a fundamentally important relationship with the natural environment, non-human voices are easily lost in conventional methods used in tourism research that favor consensus and clear patterns. Even with qualitative methods, researchers tend to seek consensus among peers and often focus disproportionately on the social dynamics of tourism, leading to entrenched anthropocentrism and limited efficacy in representing the condit…
Mountains as a Global Heritage
This concise review posits the urgent need for conserving the natural diversity of mountain environments by envisioning mountains as a global natural heritage. Mountains are recognized as cradles of biodiversity and for their important ecosystem services. Mountains also constitute the second most popular outdoor destination category at the global level after islands and beaches. However, in the current age of accelerating global environmental cha…
A Qualitative Exploratory Analysis of Ecological Integrity for Safeguarding World Natural Heritage Sites
This article reports the findings of an exploratory study on the complexity and challenges of managing UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites (WNHS). Despite their protected status, the majority of the WNHS currently face severe anthropogenic stress. While several studies have analyzed this scenario with spatial analysis and review of global trends, this research provides a qualitative analysis of ongoing fragmentation and impact in a specific site …
Mountains as vulnerable places
Challenges for environmental sustainability in a mountain destination
Geoecotourism and environmental conservation education
Developing Rivers
This article explores the reasons behind the continuation of contentious dam projects in Japanese river basins. Though the River Law of the country was reformed in 1997, and subsequent sociopolitical developments raised hopes that river governance would progress toward a more environment-oriented and bottom-up model, basin governance in Japan remains primarily based on a utilitarian vision that sees rivers as waterways. This article reviews the A…
