Deep ecology

fish found in the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The fish have started invading the Atlantic waters. The Lionfish pose a great danger to the native ecology, and they might destabilize the ecology. They have a large appetite and are well adapted to evade their prey. The lionfish belong to kingdom Animalia and the Phylum Chordata. The fish lives in deep waters in the Coral feeding on the reef fish. The fish develop at a very fast rate such that a fingerling attains sexual maturity two years after…

Muir, Gifford Pinchot, and Aldo Leopold. These historical environmentalists have an impact on the foundation of Deep Ecologists and Eco Feminists. Each of them contributing their own representation of how to treat and protect the environment is being impacted in these groups of ecologists. Both of these innovators have major impacts on the fundamentals that both Eco Feminists and Deep Ecologists share about their beliefs of how to use and develop the land. While Muir, Pinchot and Leopold share…

In particular, I can relate to where Bell and Ashwood write about the Western value of individualism. It was interesting to read about the section on “individualism, the body, and ecology” in relation to this period in my life (pg. 206). I definitely felt closed off from my body at this time and it certainly wasn’t something discussed as I become an adult (the natural processes of the body and life). I wonder if I hadn’t moved to an…

Behavioral ecology usage patterns such as site fidelity, residency, and distribution are known to be reliant on ecological factors (Campbell, Bilgre, & Defran, 2002). The ways in which ecological factors affect such usage patterns are based on the ratio of costs, like competition for food or other resources, to benefits, like protection from predators, and this ratio as a whole is greatly affected by the predictability of resources in the area both temporally and spatially (Lusseau et al., 2004;…

Within the past fifty years, people have been creating new ways to save the Earth that we have actually destroyed. These actions are in an effort for total or partial conservation, which came forth in the late eighteen hundreds. The Conservation Movement, which occurred from eighteen-fifty to nineteen-twenty, was to act as an effort to protect America's wildlife, wildlands, and natural resources. However, conservation then and now has been, mostly, for humans. In fact, the conservation movement…

ecocentric Deep Ecology ecological movement is to end the dominantion and power relationships modern humans have over nonhuman Nature, and to set up realistic biological conditions under which the wild species and biodiversity of the earth can exist and flourish. The deep ecological approach to contesting Earth’s future is to distinguish between the vital and the nonvital needs of humans. The vital needs of nonhumans get priority before the non vital needs of humans. Deep Ecology, Radical…

Concepts of social justice are more frequently applied to natural systems in political ecology (Robbins 2012). Perspectives on wetlands in particular have been instrumental in shaping Tule Lake and Lower Klamath Wildlife Refuge and debates over wetland policy illustrate the difficulties when attempting to quantify or monetize ecosystems (Robertson…

many of them are sold as ornamentals. But certain fern species can create substantial problems and they are herein called “problem ferns”. Pteridium aquilinum (bracken fern) is one of the problem ferns which cause the greatest range of problems on ecology and human welfare. Bracken fern has been described as one of the five most common plants on earth, the most locally intensive and globally extensive. It is a ubiquitous fern belonging to the phylum Pteridophyta and to the family…

Conservation of wildlife is an issue that is relevant to today in people’s everyday life. The importance of this topic, was not introduced recently. Although a poem published in 1967, still have relevance today shows the importance of modern contemporary poets, whose voice can be heard to this day. W.S. Merwin’s “For a Coming Extinction” emphasizes the importance of saving animals and the environment that is still relevant to today’s issues. In this short poem, concepts of everyday wrong-doing…

all over the world are suffering from the results of the projects, which are made for the name of progress in today’s industrial society. The way to such type of thinking is offered by the theory of ecocriticism which has various concepts such as deep ecology, ecopoetics,and ecofeminism. Ecofeminism encourages our interconnectedness with nature. It also addresses the subjugation of women and marginalized people. The recognition of social and environmental injustices is presented…
