ABSTRACT

The popular prioritization of climate change issues over biodiversity loss in environmental archaeology and palaeoecology has been argued to be in part due to agenda-setting created by the ripple effects of widespread media coverage of climatic change. In this paper, we argue that direct scientific evidence for past human landscapes can act as a powerful tool in modern conservation efforts to combat species loss when taking regional identities, historical ecology, and modern political ecologies into account. How to rank and prioritize conservation efforts in the Anthropocene and best make use of archaeological data are lingering questions within Anthropocene anthropology and archaeological science. By engaging with notions of deep-time enchantment and identity, archaeology can aid conservation biology with revealing the religio-philosophical dimensions that exist between humans and other species, in particular charismatic megafauna that lend themselves to high engagement at a local or regional level.

摘要

人们认为，在环境考古学和古生态学中，气候变化问题普遍优先于生物多样性丧失，部分原因是媒体对气候变化的广泛报道所产生的连锁反应所造成的议程设置。在本文中，我们认为，在考虑区域特征、历史生态和现代政治生态的情况下，过去人类景观的直接科学证据可以成为现代保护工作中对抗物种丧失的有力工具。如何对人类世的保护工作进行排序和优先排序，并最好地利用考古数据，是人类世人类学和考古科学中长期存在的问题。通过参与深层魅力和身份的概念，
