The concept of natural heritage has gained increasing importance in the face of dwindling resources, environmental degradation, and climate change. As humanity's impact on the Earth's condition becomes more prominent, a discernible shift in the relationship between Western society and the environment has taken place. This shift reflects broader historical processes that reveal a constantly evolving association between humanity's definition and perception of what nature constitutes or what can be defined as natural.
From the ornate collections of specimens that formed the basis of a distinct concept of nature emerging during the Enlightenment, this definition and the broader relationship between humanity and natural history have reflected issues of identity, place, and politics in the modern era.
This book examines this process and focuses on the ideas, values, and agendas that have defined the representation and reception of the history of the natural world, including geology and palaeontology, within contemporary society. It addresses how the heritage of natural history, whether through museums, parks, tourist sites, or popular culture, is used to shape social, political, cultural, and moral identities.
The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners within heritage studies, public history, ecology, environmental studies, and geography.
