January 9, 2015 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, conservation, conservation biology, ecology | 37 comments

Order Alprazolam Pills With climate change commanding the news spotlight, dominating environmental discourse, you don’t hear much anymore about biodiversity or endangered species, two interconnected issues which, until the last decade or so, had been a focus of many environmental campaigners and widespread media coverage. A case in point: In recent years, the conservation community has been at… Continue Reading…

When Ecology and Values Become Entangled

January 7, 2015 by Keith Kloor | Filed in conservation, conservation biology, ecology, environmental history | 4 comments

https://www.completerehabsolutions.com/blog/sckkh71i4 Environmental journalism, by and large, reflects not just news of the day (and an underlying theme) but also the zeitgeist. For example, when I made ecology my beat in the late 1990s, stories about the biodiversity crisis were prevalent in mainstream media and in environmental magazines–one of which I worked at through most of the… Continue Reading…

Conservation Biology at a Crossroads

January 6, 2015 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biodiversity, conservation, conservation biology, ecology | 11 comments

In a brilliant essay (PDF), the American geographer D. W. Meinig writes: “Any landscape is composed not only of what lies before our eyes but what lies within our heads.” Meinig’s piece is in a classic 1979 book of essays called, “The Interpretation of Ordinary Landscapes.” This collection features scholars whose work touches on the human/environment relationship….

The Future of Conservation

July 26, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Anthropocene, conservation, conservation biology, environmentalism, select | 4 comments

https://merangue.com/vau0uyzdf3 I’m tempted to cut to the chase and tell you at the outset that conservationists have come a long away from the sense of urgency that in the mid-1980s gave birth to the field of conservation biology, which Michael Soule defined as a “crisis discipline.” True, for foot soldiers carrying the biodiversity flag the core mission… Order Xanax Pills Continue Reading…

Maybe Extinction Isn't Forever. Is That a Good Thing?

March 14, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in conservation, conservation biology, ecology, environment, extinction, select | 24 comments

Have you heard about the big event National Geographic is hosting with TEDx this week, the one about restoring species? No, not endangered species–but ones that are already extinct, like the woolly mammoth. I have mixed feelings about the idea. In the abstract, I think it’s pretty cool. The prospect of regaining lost pieces of… https://nedediciones.com/uncategorized/fk4ko6l9t4w Continue Reading…

Killing for Conservation?

August 30, 2010 by Keith Kloor | Filed in conservation biology | 8 comments

Do conservation biologists make ethically questionable trade-offs when trying to save a species? This is the argument that Marc Bekoff makes in a provocative New Scientist essay. Bekoff, who is a biologist and an animal rights advocate, asks: Can people who value individual lives work with those who are willing to sacrifice lives for the… Continue Reading…

Conservation's Ethical Tradeoffs

February 23, 2010 by Keith Kloor | Filed in conservation, conservation biology, reintroduction | 2 comments

It’s not easy being a conservation biologist. You have to fight on multiple fronts just to maintain and preserve viable wildlife populations. Habitat fragmentation often poses the biggest threat to imperiled species. But there is one battle that the media has all but ignored–that between animal rights proponents and conservationists. So this post from wildlife… Xanax Online Visa Continue Reading…

Saving Species

October 1, 2009 by Keith Kloor | Filed in conservation, conservation biology, ecology, endangered species act | No comments

https://transculturalexchange.org/tzvvsgyl While mulling the 6-year disappearance of the possibly extinct Chinese paddlefish, Andy Revkin reminds us of the enduring problem with our own approach to species protection: we have an Endangered Species Act intended to save species on the brink, but not a Thriving Ecosystems Act that tries to monitor and sustain diverse communities of species… https://sugandhmalhotra.com/2024/08/07/v8pkb4li Continue Reading…

The Tipping Point Dilemma

September 24, 2009 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, conservation biology, ecology | No comments

If you read this article by Carl Zimmer in Yale 360, you might notice that there’s a few looming battles over ecological thresholds. Climate scientists and climate advocates will be wrangling over acceptable planetary carbon dioxide limits, and conservation biologists and ecosystem ecologists will be arguing over acceptable species extinction levels. That’s the problem when… https://aiohealthpro.com/07iie4wfk0l Continue Reading…

The Silving Lining to Wolf Hunts

September 2, 2009 by Keith Kloor | Filed in conservation biology, wildlife, wolves | No comments

Environmentalists are upset that wolves can now be legally hunted in Idaho and Montana. Michael Hutchins provides some necessary context to this emotional issue: There is no doubt that some individuals and organizations will have a difficult time shifting from a mindset where wolves are rare creatures that need every protection to one where wolves are… Continue Reading…
