Folks say the Post series on TNC still haunts the group's halls. Should it? VT's Max Stephenson was not impressed: goo.gl/03zri- Orig title for a book Kareiva edited with Simon Levin: "Are Species Important?" goo.gl/Z8ZwG Didn't cause ruckus that S.L. expected.
- Kareiva and his former postdoc, Marvier, also have a textbook reflecting their views: goo.gl/q1q6W Gaining acceptance, she says.
- Some additional reading on conservation in the Anthropocene. Some are behind paywalls:
- Papers: John Robinson, science head of the Wildlife Conservation Society, on a pluralistic approach to conservation: goo.gl/9fc0f
- Former TNC lead scientist, John Wiens, on the "demise of nature" and the need for conservation triage: goo.gl/pcI8A #anthropocene
- The philosopher Michael Nelson lays out the difference between classic environmental views and a human-centered ethic: goo.gl/MdQbS
- Kent Redford and Bill Adams on the perils of targeting ecosystem services as conservation's future: goo.gl/fJ8q2
- And a few to close out the day:
- A decade ago, @Revkin foreshadowed where Kareiva wanted the conservation movement to go: goo.gl/RJVjh #anthropocene
- The best book out right now about the #Anthropocene is Emma Marris' "Rambunctious Garden": goo.gl/C5ObA
