Abstract

A great diversity of living beings and human values are invisible to the prevailing global culture, which associates the word biodiversity with large organisms such as trees and mammals. Paradoxically, most biodiversity is made up of small organisms that remain invisible to global society and are under-represented in philosophy, science, and education. To help resolve this "biocultural blindness" about biological and value diversity, in this article we present concepts and practices of field environmental philosophy. We focus on the activity "ecotourism with a hand-lens" to illustrate "conceptual lenses" that amplify the appreciation of biological and cultural diversity. This activity integrates philosophy, sciences, and arts to appreciate the beauty and relevance of small organisms and the multiplicity of languages, forms of knowledge, and values that different cultural traditions give to biodiversity. Participants practice forms of analogical thinking to co-create knowledge and biocultural expressions of their own, instead of being passive recipients of information. Finally, this field environmental philosophy activity combines bodily and sensory activities with theoretical readings that provide conceptual foundations for cultivating a biocultural ethic that guides forms of co-inhabitation with small and large co-inhabitants (humans and others-thanhumans) with whom we share both our local habitats and the global biosphere.

8. Plural values of nature help to understand contested pathways to sustainability

Abstract

Despite globally agreed sustainability goals, advocacy for specific pathways of action remains highly contested. Disagreement about how best to advance sustainability can produce constructive debate but can also lead to marginalization, conflict, and inaction. This review uncovers how different “values of nature” underpin allegiance to different pathways of action for sustainability. It analyzes four selected pathways: (1) Green Economy, (2) Nature Protection, (3) Earth Stewardship and Biocultural Diversity, and (4) Degrowth and Post-Growth. We identify how these four pathways diverge in the values they prioritize and how these values are inseparable from the kind of knowledge and solutions they advocate to resolve environmental crises. The review reveals the underlying values that differentiate (and connect) competing pathways and argues that transparency and reflection on these differences is a step toward more constructive use of diversity. Looking forward, we identify promising directions involving deliberative governance, institutional reforms, and disruption of dominance.

11. Chapter 4: Underwater with a Hand Lens: Ecological Sciences and Environmental Ethics to Value Freshwater Biodiversity

Abstract

Despite their impressive diversity and ecosystem relevance, insects are undervalued and rarely considered in conservation efforts, except for those that are medically or economically important. In terms of funding and effort, insect conservation research lags far behind vertebrate research, hampering the development of methodologies to better understand their conservation needs. This taxonomic bias has a severe limitation in that it only gives moral consideration to our closest evolutionary relatives, excluding the vast majority of other life forms on our planet. In this regard, the Field Environmental Philosophy (FEP) methodology provides a platform for the development of interdisciplinary approaches to biocultural conservation that combine ecological research and environmental ethics. We integrated ecological research, education, and environmental ethics over the last 15 years through the FEP to promote and foster freshwater insect awareness, conservation, and value in the Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion of southern Chile. The FEP practice has enabled us to reach a wide range of people and raise awareness for these under-appreciated co-inhabitants. This methodology also promotes educational practices that encourage direct encounters with the inhabitants, habitats, and life habits, making them “visible” once more. Our work aims to awaken appreciation and valuation of the small co-inhabitants with whom we share the planet by providing a platform of scientific training and thinking from the earliest stages of education, with a novel combination of disciplines aiming to reveal the intrinsic value of freshwater insects.

12. From Hand Lenses to Telescopes: Exploring the Microcosm and Macrocosm in Chile’s Biocultural Laboratories

Abstract

This virtual exhibition presents for the first time the complementarity of the astronomical and biocultural research conducted at the extreme ends of Chile. The world’s clearest skies above the Atacama Desert and the planet’s cleanest waters and ecosystems in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (CHBR) offer unique opportunities for exploring the cosmos, from supernovae and constellations to tiny organisms. The examination of biophysical dimensions discloses surprising similarities between structures and patterns of galaxies and rocks, rivers, and organisms, including humans on Earth. This research invites us to appreciate the beauty of the cosmos and ponder our life habits in order to foster responsible ways of coexisting with diverse human and other-than-human inhabitants.
