Thinking about Animals in the Age of the Anthropocene
The term “Anthropocene”, the era of mankind, is increasingly being used as a scientific designation for the current geological epoch. This is because the human species now dominates ecosystems worldwide, and affects nature in a way that rivals natural forces in magnitude and scale. Thinking about Animals in the Age of the Anthropocene presents a dozen chapters that address the role and place of animals in this epoch characterized by anthropogenic (human-made) environmental change. While some chapters describe our impact on the living conditions of animals, others question conventional ideas about human exceptionalism, and stress the complex cognitive and other abilities of animals. The Anthropocene idea forces us to rethink our relation to nature and to animals, and to critically reflect on our own role and place in the world, as a species. Nature is not what it was. Nor are the lives of animals as they used to be before mankind´s rise to global ecological prominence. Can we eventually learn to live with animals, rather than causing extinction and ecological mayhem?

Wildes Land
Ein bahnbrechendes Renaturierungsprojekt An stillen Junitagen kann man auf dem Landgut Knepp in West Sussex wieder das unverkennbare Gurren der selten gewordenen Turteltauben hören. Ein wahres Wunder für das ehemals intensiv bewirtschaftete Agrar- und Weideland, das nur 70 Kilometer vom Londoner Stadtzentrum entfernt liegt. Auch die in Großbritannien bedrohten Waldohreulen und Wanderfalken sowie zahlreiche Tagfalter- und Pflanzenarten siedeln sich nun in Knepp an, und jedes Jahr kommen neue hinzu. Als Isabella Tree mit ihrem Mann das wegweisende Renaturierungsprojekt initiierte, ahnte sie noch nichts von der Geschwindigkeit, mit der sich die Natur erholen kann. Trees persönlich geschriebene, faszinierende Geschichte handelt von der Schönheit und Kraft der Natur und gibt Hoffnung. »Diese spannende Geschichte erzählt, wie aus ausgelaugtem Land wieder ein reiches Ökosystem wird, und zwingt uns damit, Landwirtschaft neu zu denken.« THE TIMES
