Lecture Political Ecology of Dr. Annuska Derks is about: Identifying broader system, viewing ecological systems as power-laden, taking an explicitly normative approach. | Political Ecology Dr. Annuska Derks What is Political Ecology? Difference between explaining Serengeti‘s declining biodiversity and destroyed landscape from a: - apolitical ecology perspective - political ecology perspective Serengeti as natural landscape – savanne, animals, grazing, predating, etc. Apolitical perspective: Declining biodiversity and destroyed landscapes seen as result of growing population of poor Africans – encroaching on natural landscape Look from broader perspective: decline in habitat and wildlife is much higher in Kenya than in Tanzania (although rainfall, human population and livestock numbers do not differ much). In Kenia: private holdings and investment in export cereal grains = intensive cropping and lose of habitat Cereals are exported, consumed around the world = part of globalized food economy Kenya increasingly linked to global markets = higher pressure | Political Ecology Dr. Annuska Derks What is Political Ecology?
