I think the separation of peatlands - and the conception of peat itself as a resource to be extracted - was the product of modernity. ]]> 2021-10-02 07:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1785593345 https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1785593521 That we have much to gain yet!]]> 2021-10-02 07:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1785593521 https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1785594870 It would look like a brighter future which presents a more or less level playing field for human actors, where justice is done and where alternatives are welcomes!]]> 2021-10-02 07:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1785594870 ireenhoorn https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1804158905 I think an important step is first seeing that the predominant conservation lense is in fact a western one, and that there are many other ways of approaching conservation too. I feel as if sometimes this thought does not even occur to people active in the environmental movement. ]]> 2021-10-09 14:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1804158905 ireenhoorn https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1804170059 what comes to mind for me is that there are a lot of myths about peatlands where the land is seen as a somewhat dangerous and mysterious place. I imagine this demands a sort of carefulness and respect from those who are living with the peat, to not undermine the power of the peatland.]]> 2021-10-09 14:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1804170059 That there is so much more to learn about modes of relatedness and relating, the various life forms and contexts beyond the human https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806405668 2021-10-11 01:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806405668 I think to use the term 'Western' here is too generalised since peatlands are an ancient presence within Western contexts. I understand what is intended by the use of the term here, but perhaps it can be qualified to suggest a way of instrumental thinking and valuation that is shaped by Western modernity and framed by profit centred Capitalism https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806412445 2021-10-11 01:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806412445 Where ever peatlands occur through deep time, there are associated cultural contexts and myths and stories that position peatlands a certain way and imbue them with a certain aura, where spirits of the land or water and everything in between reside https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806417260 2021-10-11 02:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806417260 That contemporary capitalism is a major deterrent to attributing value to anything from which a profit cannot be derived, and the global system, agreements, transactions are based on an extractive mentality https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806421461 2021-10-11 02:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806421461 Peatlands would exist with all the species that inhabit them along with wetlands, swamps, bogs and all those in between places that are not just the one thing or another, neither just land or water, but so much more https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806424509 2021-10-11 02:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ireenhoorn/mdqbbo2974h5qhv7/wish/1806424509
