Shifting Baselines by Jeremy B.C. Jackson
The Past and Future of Ocean Fisheries
In this thought-provoking exploration, the author delves into the concept of shifting baselines, illustrating how our perception of environmental degradation is often skewed by generational amnesia. Through compelling examples and scientific insights, the narrative reveals how each generation tends to accept the current state of ecosystems as the norm, overlooking the gradual decline that has occurred over time. This work challenges readers to recognize the subtle yet profound changes in our natural world, urging a reevaluation of what is considered "normal" and advocating for a more informed and proactive approach to conservation.
