Description
Elephants rarely breed in captivity and are not considered domesticated, yet they interact with people regularly and adapt to various environments. In "Wildlife in the Anthropocene", Jamie Lorimer argues that our understanding of nature has changed. He proposes the concept of wildlife as a replacement for nature, examining how human actions affect all life on Earth. Lorimer explores the implications of the Anthropocene era, including rewilding, human relationships with charismatic species, and urban wildlife. His work analyzes scientific papers, policy documents, and popular media, drawing on a decade of fieldwork. By considering the interconnections between science, politics, and neoliberal capitalism, Lorimer nurtures a more hopeful and democratic environmentalism. This book offers a thorough appraisal of the Anthropocene's impact on our understanding of nature and wildlife conservation.
