This ‘cultural ecological baseline’ features a landscape that retains many of the ecosystem service provided by a pristine montane forest, while retaining the cultural history of its indigenous people within the vegetation.
This is a list of the most recent theses and dissertations from ECO students.
Excepting the threat of nuclear war, the runaway locomotive of capitalist development is the greatest peril humanity has ever faced.
This essay addresses this threat and contends that there is no possible solution to our existential crisis within the framework of any conceivable capitalism.
The subsequent colonization of the region by Europeans in the late 1500’s decimated the indigenous population, leading to the abandonment of the region in conjunction with an expansion in forest cover ca. After approximately 130 years of vegetation recovery, montane cloud forest reached a stage of structural maturity comparable to that seen in the pre-human arrival forest.
The following 100 years (1718-1822 CE) of low human population and minimal human impact in the region is proposed as a shifted ecological baseline for future restoration and conservation goals.
