Making Ecologies on Private Land: Conservation Practice in Rural-amenity Landscapes: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Making Ecologies on Private Land: Conservation Practice in Rural-amenity Landscapes" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book explores conservation practices on private land, based on research conducted with landholders in the hinterlands of Melbourne, Australia. It examines how conservation is pursued as an intimate interaction between people and ecologies, suggesting that local ecologies are lively participants in this process, rather than simply the object of conservation, and that landholders develop their ideas of environmental stewardship through this interaction. The book also explores the consequences of private property as a form of spatial organisation for conservation practice; the role of formative interactions with ecologies in producing durable experiential knowledge; how the possibilities for contemporary conservation practice are shaped by historical landscape modification; and how landholders engage with conservation covenants and payment schemes as part of their conservation practice. The authors conclude with ideas on how goals and approaches to private land conservation might be reframed amid calls for just social and ecological outcomes in an era of rapid environmental change. Dr Benjamin Cooke is a Senior Lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He is a human geographer who explores the critical social science dimensions of nature conservation. Dr Ruth Lane is a Senior Lecturer at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. She is a human geographer whose research focuses on the intersections between social change, environmental degradation and environmental governance.

This book provides excellent insights into how landscapes are never still and what this means for people and environment in contemporary rural Australia. It shows how ecological processes, property arrangements, and the experiences of new landowners challenge ideas about nature and the conservation practices that flow from them. With a strong foundation in cultural environmental research, it incisively demonstrates how critical environmental social science can reframe and inform conservation policy and practice.

Associate Professor Nicholas Gill, University of Wollongong

Nature conservation on private land is critical for the long-term survival for so many of our species and ecosystems. Yet our understanding of what motivates private landholders to undertake certain conservation activities is still in its infancy. This book provides an important advance in our understanding of the different and often complex social drivers for this critical activity.

Dr. James Fitzsimons, The Nature Conservancy, Australia

Chapter 3

Fig. 1 Integrating nonhuman agency into learning about conservation practice, and the emergence of landholders notions of stewardship. The dashed and overlapping lines reflect that the influences on emergent environment stewardship are not isolated and discrete, but open and inter-related

A decade of living in a drought-affected landscape had generated a notion of the Australian bush as a static ecology
