De la modernité introuvable au mégamachino‑plantationocène : pour un post‑structuralisme de démantèlement

Latour : nous n’avons jamais été modernes. Haraway/Tsing : ce n’est pas l’Anthropocène, mais le Plantationocène. Mumford/Scheidler : nous vivons dans une mégamachine. Deleuze, Guattari, Derrida, Foucault, Stiegler : boîte à outils pour la démonter. #Latour #Plantationocène #Mégamachine #postStructuralisme #Entropocène Dire avec Latour que « nous n’avons jamais été…

World Heritage boundaries — minus the plantations

"Research has shown there are more significant populations of koala, and more significant koala trees than the areas of native forest now under logging moratorium. This is particularly the case for the plantation habitat in Newry, Wild Cattle Creek, Pine Creek and Tuckers Nob State Forests. Tragically, this koala habitat will continue to be subjected to ongoing forestry operations — which threatens the viability of the population as a whole. With one-tenth of the population located in these forests, ongoing operations will result in a permanent cull."

"Suspending all operations in these areas pending a full review is essential to protect the integrity of the park’s natural values as a whole."

Logging NSW mid-north coast biodiversity in the plantationocene ( The Great Koala National Park )

'The NSW government has imposed a temporary moratorium on timber harvesting within the boundary from Monday, but harvesting in plantations will continue."

"Koalas on track to be extinct in the wild across NSW by 2050."

The Eucalyptus Plantations of the Plantationocene

“Introducing monoculture stands of eucalyptus into other regions brings a new and dangerous flammability into ecosystems. Using exotic fire-prone trees for afforestation in tree-planting schemes under a heating and drying climate has the potential to literally backfire, releasing carbon while also risking local tragedy and ecological damage.”

"From the Amazon rainforest to California, Madagascar to Spain, monoculture forests are being grown over huge areas, with eucalyptus among the most popular species. A growing number of tree-planting schemes are allocated to carbon offsetting projects and government contributions towards the Paris agreement – with many countries looking to plant increasing swathes of forest to meet their obligations. According on one estimate, eucalyptus plantations cover at least 22m hectares (54m acres) around the world."

For those of you who, like me, are developing an interest in the idea of the #Symbiocene (a term originally coined by philosopher Glen Albrecht, the age that we should work towards, post #Anthropocene #Capitocene #Plantationocene etc), this website/group looks like a good resource. Only just came across this, would be interested to learn more! #Symbioscene #Transition #Degrowth #ClimateEmergency
