The Institute arose from the deliberations of a working group formed by the British Ecological Society, the British Association of Nature Conservationists, the Institute of Biology and the Royal Geographical Society. The principle aims of the IEEM are: The Institute aims to place a practical slant on ecological and environmental work. It runs a to raise the profile of the profession very popular series of workshops every year, to establish, maintain and enhance as part of its professional development professional standards programme, and organises one- and two-day symposia.

Competition for employment in ecology is intense and the profession demands high levels of commitment, but the rewards which come with this work provide great job satisfaction. This is a joint publication between the British Ecological Society (BES) and the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM). The two organisations have complementary roles, one in developing and teaching ecological knowledge, the other in its professional application. Together, they embrace the professional needs of ecologists. So, what makes an ecologist? expertise in one or The booklet describes the kind There are general qualities, more groups of living of jobs available in ecology and such as self motivation, organisms environmental management, teamwork, computer literacy details the qualifications the facility to infect and communicating and needed, provides guidance on others with enthusiasm negotiating skills, which are how to go about finding jobs about the natural world necessary for most areas of and gives first-hand accounts of work, but special qualities are enjoyment of fieldwork the work by practising needed for success in ecological ecologists. work.

  • Nuclear Heresy: Environmentalism As Implicit Religion By
    Nuclear heresy: environmentalism as implicit religion By: Caroline McCalman A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Urban Studies and Planning November 2018 Nuclear heresy: environmentalism as implicit religion By: Caroline McCalman A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Urban Studies and Planning November 2018 Abstract | Nuclear heresy: environmentalism as implicit religion This thesis is a discourse study of environmentalism in the UK. The research indicates how reframing environmental issues using religious concepts and language can deepen our understanding of people’s relationship to the environment and environmentalism. The thesis suggests that this process of reframing may be important for the social sciences, by illuminating new ways to engage with and understand the controversies and debates at hand. The data supporting this reframing analysis was obtained through in- depth, semi-structured one-on-one interviews with individuals identified as being ‘environmentally concerned’ and was analysed first thematically, and then using the researcher’s ‘discourse toolkit’. Nuclear power is treated as an emblematic issue to provide a concrete focus for a topic prone to abstraction; viewing environmentalism as a form of religion encouraged interdisciplinary working. By developing ideas from Bailey’s implicit religion (Bailey, 1997) I provide a language for environmentalism-as-religion, wherein pro-nuclear heretics challenge an anti-nuclear orthodoxy. Linking environmental discourses to enduring cosmologies shows that ‘superficial’ conflict over climate change mitigation is acrimonious precisely because it deals with manifestations of deeper convictions on the human-nature relationship.

Four of clubs Sammy Wilson Northern Ireland environment minister Sammy Wilson's appointment as Northern Ireland environment minister appears to have been conceived as some sort of practical joke. It's no longer very funny. He fills the same role as the former South African health minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, who claimed that Aids could be treated with beetroot and lemon juice. Wilson maintains that environmentalism is a "hysterical pseudo-religion". Climate change is natural and "beyond our control", so "resources should be used to adapt to the consequences of climate change rather than King Canute style vainly trying to stop it." But the minister for hysterical pseudo-religion intends to cling onto his brief come hell or high water.

    Please can we have your annual Public Lending Rights (which you may not even be claiming) to conserve wilderness land? Green Ink is an initiative set up by some of the country's leading authors and artists to help conserve rainforest, coral reef and other wilderness areas under threat. Members of Green Ink agree to assign the Public Lending Rights from at least one of their books to the World Land Trust for the purchase of endangered land. It is a simple, inexpensive and effective way of supporting valuable environmental work. If you are a writer, illustrator, editor or translator we hope very much that you will join us. Please note we will handle the paperwork! AII you need to do is advise us which title or titles we may have the rights to. On average the Public Lending Rights for a book will be worth in the region of £20 - £50. The amount is directly linked to the number of times a book is requested in public libraries. Public Lending Rights are unconnected to royalties or whether or not the book is still in print. WHAT IS GREEN INK? Green Ink is a group of authors and artists who have agreed to assign some or all of their Public Lending Rights to the World Land Trust for the purpose of conserving land.

  • Stories of Natural History Film-Making from the BBC
    Networks of Nature: Stories of Natural History Film-Making from the BBC Gail Davies Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted 1997 Awarded 1998 University College London Gail Davies Phd: Networks of nature Abstract In May 1953 the first natural history television programme was broadcast from Bristol by naturalist Peter Scott and radio producer Desmond Hawkins. By 1997 the BBC's Natural History Unit has established a global reputation for wildlife films, providing a keystone of the BBC's public service broadcasting charter, playing an important strategic role in television scheduling and occupying a prominent position in a competitive world film market. The BBC's blue-chip natural history programmes regularly bring images of wildlife from all over the globe to British audiences of over 10 million. This thesis traces the changing aesthetics, ethics and economics of natural history film-making at the BBC over this period. It uses archive material, interviews and participant observation to look at how shifting relationships between broadcasting values, scientific and film-making practices are negotiated by individuals within the Unit. Engaging with vocabularies from geography, media studies and science studies, the research contextualises these popular representations of nature within a history of post-war British attitudes to nature and explores the importance of technology, animals and conceptions of the public sphere as additional actors influencing the relationships between nature and culture. This history charts the construction of the actor networks of the Natural History Unit by film- makers and broadcasters as they seek to incorporate and exclude certain practices, technologies and discourses of nature.

    The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP, The Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London, SW1A 2AA Copied to: The Lord Gardiner of Kimble, Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs London, SW1P 3JR 30th November 2020 Dear Prime Minister, For the health of our nation, let’s give people more access to nature: let’s extend the Right to Roam. We write to you as authors, musicians, actors and artists, united in our belief that we all need greater access to the English countryside. In the books we write, the songs we sing, the art that we make, we celebrate the essential connection that we feel with nature. Our love for nature resonates with our millions of fans and followers, but in England, it is actively discouraged by the law. This is not only unfair; it is also untenable. Twenty years ago this week the Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act became law. It introduced for the first time a Right to Roam in England, giving people access to some of our most beautiful landscapes. It has been both highly successful and incredibly popular, yet it covers only a fraction of our countryside. We have freedom to roam over just 8% of England, and only 3% of rivers in England and Wales are legally accessible to kayakers, paddle-boarders and wild swimmers. But just over the border in Scotland, the law encourages the public to swim, walk, camp, kayak, forage and climb, to connect with nature in a responsible manner that is better both for them and for the environment.

They are short and to the point, which is what I like about WLT: First, they save land “Fifty years ago, in the conservation movement’s early days, there was a great emphasis on individual endangered species - Giant Pandas, Oryx, particular species of birds. We eventually realised, however, that the important unit was not a particular species but a whole ecosystem. Indeed, in the long run, you will not save those endangered species unless you save the whole ecosystem. To save an ecosystem you need to save the land. That is what WLT’s programme partner NGOs do with funds raised by WLT. By protecting whole ecosystems, they not only protect the mammals that everyone knows, but protect the smallest insects and plants, many of which haven’t even been discovered.” The Narupa Reserve in north east Ecuador, owned by WLT Second, WLT does not own the land partner, Fundación Jocotoco. “WLT raises funds to buy land but ownership is with the local Funded with support from WLT, organisation.
