Draft:Conservation Humanities
Interdisciplinary academic subfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conservation Humanities is an interdisciplinary research field that draws on humanities disciplines such as environmental history, ecocriticism, and anthropology to address questions about nature conservation practices, issues, and challenges.[1] It specifically advocates the necessity of involving the humanities in the effort to conserve biodiversity and halt species loss.[2] What distinguishes the approaches of Conservation Humanities beyond its thematic interest in nature protection is its close involvement with conservation practice and its commitment to make humanities scholarship and conservation on the ground speak to each other and profit from each other's perspectives.[3]

Conservation Humanities sees itself as a part of the recent environmental turn across disciplines. As such, it is closely related to the Environmental Humanities, an interdisciplinary set of approaches that embed humanities scholarship in the context of concern about climate change and environmental degradation.[4]
Emergence and mission of Conservation Humanities
Conservation Humanities is an emerging field of inquiry. It has its roots in Environmental History, in particular in the study of the historical development of national parks.[5][6][7][8] The term Conservation Humanities was first institutionalised by the interdisciplinary project Corridor Talk: Conservation Humanities and the Future of Europe's National Parks, which was based at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at LMU München and the University of Leeds between 2020 and 2023. It has since developed into a full research focus at the University of Oulu in Finland, where the research programme Biodiverse Anthropocenes[9] brings together social and natural sciences to investigate biodiversity loss.
