Hi guys,

I listened today the 99% Invisible podcast #91 on Wild Ones Live recommended by Sebastien Jodoin when he came to our lab.

It adresses the issue of species extinction and refers to the shifting baseline syndrom defined as "when there is a loss of perception of change that occurs when each generation redefines what is "natural"." (Pauly 1995).

I just wanted to have your views on the link that can be made between the Yearning Phase in social transformation science that Nico presented us Monday and the problem of the baseline shift syndrome.

I think we could discuss this further next Monday, if you think it could be interesting,

Have a great week end!

oooo this is cool, it could open up a whole new can of worms that realistically would end up being a whole book chapter or paper in itself: Through urbanisation/economic development/detatchment from our nature, do different generations perceive the 'natural environment' differently? In turn, does this impact what each generation yearns for in terms of socio-economic development?

Me-likey

That´s a really interesting topic. You see this tendency also in the alienation from food sources (kids not knowing what sort of plant a tomato comes from, or the 20% of australian kids who apparently think pasta comes from animals (as addressed in popular culture by jamie oliver)) & internalizing the man-made environment as ´safe´vs. the great unknown of the changing natural landscape. A nice book of related essays & poems --'The practice of the wild', by Gary Snider.
