Natuuramnesie
Marc Argeloo
In 'Natuuramnesie' (translation: Nature amnesia) Marc Argeloo writes about the phenomenon of 'shifting baseline syndrome': the knowledge of the richness of nature disappears from our collective consciousness. Each new generation no longer remembers how different, and often richer, nature was when their parents or grandparents were young. Everyone knows the dodo, but who knows about the extinct slender-billed curlew, the Tahiti sandpiper and the hundreds of other (almost) disappeared species? Conservationists also rarely look further back than forty years ago, because there are few 'official' figures from before that time. Nature policy is based on baseline measurements from the 1970s, and sometimes from the 1980s or 1990s.
Marc Argeloo has been researching the shifting baseline syndrome for years and has come to important and confronting insights. For example, he argues for a greater role for historical and archaeological research in ecology. Nature amnesia offers an indispensable contribution to national and international nature conservation.
