    Abstract: The efforts of nature conservation bodies to return parts of the Highlands to a ‘pristine’ state involve attempts to reduce both signs of human dwelling and the destructive impacts of animals introduced by wealthy landlords for sport and cash such as deer and sheep. The irony is that such restoration projects will still not achieve the levels of biodiversity that obtained before the Clearances when Gaels dwelt in what are now regarded as ecologically rich but threatened regions. Wilderness restoration projects reflect in some ways the modern romantic fetishisation of wild nature which finds its modern equivalent in the growing practice of wilderness therapy. Discussions amongst philosophers of wilderness, and ecological restoration, frequently neglect the dimension of the environmental exclusion of indigenous people, and so also tend to fetishise wilderness. Biblical accounts of wilderness restoration are strongly at variance with modern approaches when they suggest that the divine intent to restore desert to fertile land involves also the redemption of the poor, and of other species, from the greed and corruption of the wealthy. In this sense the land reform project of the new Scottish Parliament comes closer to a Biblical vision of wilderness restoration than traditional nature conservation strategies.

    From Environmental Utopianism to Parochial Ecology : Communities of Place and the Politics of Sustainability

    Abstract: The image of the earth from space as the blue planet has become one of the dominant framings of nature in the late twentieth century. From space the earth looks at once beautiful and fragile. The quantity of water on the planet, relative to land, is striking. So too are the contrasts between the white polar caps and the light and dark browns of the continents of Africa, Asia and the Americas. The image has echoes of Stanley Kubrik’s film 2001, with its closing shot of a vulnerable foetus in a bubble floating around earth. It is reminiscent, too, of images from the Apollo moon landings, where astronauts were the first humans to experience ‘earth rise’ as they lived for two or three days on the moon, and to capture this event on film. For many of us, the nearest we come to experiencing this image of earth from space is at 37,000 feet in an aeroplane. Flying from Scotland to Van-couver recently I was struck by the awesome beauty of the icy coasts and inlets of Greenland, and of the north-eastern regions of Canada, recently politically reconstituted as the Province of Ninevet with its own parliament for its 35,000 human inhabitants.
