[Sakset fra min engelskspråklige blogg Utopian Realism:]
May 24th (in no. 20/2013) an
extensive article entitled "- Vil gi mer rom for villmark" [- Wants to
give more space for wilderness] was published in the Norwegian weekly Ukebrevet Mandag Morgen.
I am one of those interviewed in the 5-page article, referred to as
Associate professor at University of Stavanger. In the 1 page or so that
reiterates the interview with me, I support George Monbiot's stance
with regard to rewilding, but emphasise that today's threatened species
should be given priority. In the Norwegian context this includes the
four large predators wolves, brown bears, lynx and wolverine, which I
stipulate will only be close to universally accepted in a couple of
generations. With these predators Norwegian ecosystems will be more
complete and self-regulating. I further state that I generally support
reintroducing species that have gone functionally or totally extinct in
Norway during the last few hundred years but that are today present in
other parts of Europe. I also refer to the Anthropocene notion, and
state that in my mind exiting the Anthropocene in the long term (i.e.,
in the scope of a few hundred years) is an ethical imperative.
