Why do so many different nations protect nature? This collection draws on the idea of the “Nature State,” a form of polity that acquires added legitimacy through the adoption of a conservationist agenda. The collection’s interest focuses on a variety of processes, institutions, and circumstances through which the state and its agencies acquired a dynamic role in nature conservation, particularly from a “bottom-up” perspective. The collection is one of the outcomes of an RCC workshop held in 2014 at the Gran Paradiso National Park in north-western Italy.
This collection is curated by Jonatan Palmblad (Rachel Carson Center).
