What do you think about deep ecology? Do you think we need a major change to save the planet, or do you think it's unrealistic to expect society to change so drastically? Let me know your thoughts!

I'm a vegan undergraduate studying Wildlife Ecology and this is very interesting, thanks for sharing I never heard about Deep Ecology before! One of my favorite subjects is ethology, so animal intelligence and animal rights becoming more prominent in the scientific world really makes me happy and is a strong motivator for me. I appreciate you making a video about this :)

The yellowstone trophic cascade video literally changed my life when I watched it. I had just started gardening and after that video (and a few other influential videos) I decided that I didn't just want to garden to grow food for myself, but I wanted to plant out an ecosystem. I wanted to swap from being a gardener and cultivator to being a forager and passenger. I needed to change from being the only thing eating in my garden, and instead just being one of the things eating out of my garden. To share it with nature. But for that I needed to GO BIG and to plant incredible diversity, and to expand the plants I was planting to things I would never myself eat. It fundamentally changed my entire life, it created a new passion I never knew I had, I started documenting it and started my channel, started inspiring others, and now tens of thousands of people have started their own food forests based on watching mine grow. It honestly started a snowball that I never knew I needed. I'm so happy to see that video mentioned in your video. It changed my life forever.

The concept of all life on this planet needing each other to work and run smoothly is still one that some dont understand. No life form is more important than the next. Love this video . Spreads an important message

I found your channel recently and I have to say I love the content! your videos have helped me broaden my scope of potential careers after undergrad! Keep being awesome!

I’m planning on studying wildlife biology and conservation next year when I start university! Great video btw the philosophy of deep ecology is really interesting

I really wish you had a podcast. You’re always so informative and calming so it would be lovely if you could create a podcast to talk about different topics with other professionals.

My philosophy teacher mentioned this - then I found your video! I don't think its unrealistic at all, we must remain optimistic no matter what. I love your channel - as a fellow environmentalist, keep up the amazing work!

look into Savitri Devi and Pentii Linkola...amazing deep ecology writers

Thank you, interesting video, definitely some things to really think about.

This is comprehensive and well-stated. Thanks for all the work that went into this.

I love this, I've always loved to look outside nature and see not what it looks like but how it all works and understand it deeply this video made me understand concepts that I couldnt have otherwise known, thank you

Very concise and informative. Thank you!

great discussion, can't wait for more!

Thank you for this video. Really, really great!

Hi, I'm high school student, and this video has become big help to me. Thanks.

Awesome video! My ENTIRE life I've believed in the intrinsic value and rights of All beings. 💜♥️ Glad there is more awareness being brought to it. Thanks for sharing the term. Now I can sum up my beliefs in 2 words....Deep Ecology 🙏🏽

Please make more videos about your career. Loving the videos. - Puertorican wanting to move to usa to study this.

Awesome and informative video! Subscribed

I just found your channel a couple days ago and I felt like I found my dream job watching your day in the life videos. I think it would be great to see more detail of what you do on a day to day basis. Of course, you can't film your whole day in the field, but maybe an explanation of the day followed by what desk work your observations entailed. Anywho you are now my idol and I'll look up to you until after I graduate and become a wildlife biologist.

omg, I love Layla ABdelRahim, she's amazing! Thanks for including her work in this!

Very informative, helped me greatly for my college paper.

amazing concepts thank you!

Ive never known what my beliefs inlined with until now. Thank you!

Great video, thanks for this -- debating whether to go for an Ethics of the Environment module or a Metaphysics module at uni. Both interest me just as much... Thanks for bringing me closer to what I would be studying.

I love Peter Singer's book. I got to meet him back in 2003 at a book store.

You have influenced me to follow my dreams and follow a calling that has been there since I was little. Thankyou! I have watched so many of your videos, subscribed! , done a ton of research and am now looking to apply for university to study Environmental Science hopefully majoring in wildlife conservation and biology! At the age of 24! I am not the brightest so I hope I can do it! I have my horticulture qualification so maybe that might give me a bump up? If you have any advice for me I would very much appreciate it! ps you should make a podcast channel!! Thankyou Kristina! Love from AUS

so interesting! love your channel

Make a video on eco fascism

great analyze! very educated!! But can talk about some critique toward deep ecology?

What are your thoughts on Pentti Linkola?

1: How Wolves Change Rivers is one of my go-to pick-me-up videos. 2: Is there a booklist typed up somewhere that I'm just not seeing?

Hey, I was just wondering if there are other degrees that can get jobs helping the environment (other than ecology, wildlife biology or conservation). It's just that getting a degree in any of those things isn't really possible in my country, so I want to check out other options.

Can you make a video about what you did during your bach to get the needed experience to be a wildlife biologist?

Thank you for sharing... please look up Susun Weed, Vegetarianism... also look up Juniper Berries to eat daily to help protect against Corona virus. Blessed Bee to you dear.

Do you have a video with book recommendations? Or maybe even films (overall)?You’re awesome!😊

Binging your channel so hard. LOL Great video. I hope you don't mind all the comments. I know they help the youtube algorithm push your videos to more people. Don't feel like you need to reply to them all! I'm just trying to do my part to get your channel discovered by more people.

I just want to tell you that our professor at University of Oregon shouted this video out in my environmental studies 201 class! I thought you'd like to know this

gr8 vid tysm

What are your ideas about Ecotourism I belong to area which has world famous high mountains and glaciers and these glaciers are melting rapidly due to unplanned urbanization and also non responsible Tourist make pollution in the tracking areas which causes the degradation of habitat of wildlife

Can I ask some examples of deep ecology??

I'm looking into nature worship and cultural ways to eradicate climate change, this was an awesome video thank you!!!

Please make a video about social ecology

Deep ecology - Arne Naess :)

one of our buildings at my college is named after rachel carson :) also ive been transitioning to a vegan diet!!

How do we stop the spread of suburbia? I think neighborhood sprawl is the biggest problem, but I can't think of a solution that wouldn't have worse effects. I'm writing a book about how to fix our mistakes, both economically and ethically, but I'm stuck because my current solutions to the suburban sprawl just won't work.

so much more helpful than my prof lol

Honestly I think one way to help out the investment without cutting meat out of your system completely is to stopping eating beef. First of all cows take up so much room and need do much more food then humans which takes up so much land. Also smaller animals like pigs and chickens do not take up as much land and do not eat as much food. Buying from smaller local farmers can help out the ecosystem better plus they are usually nicer to there animals.

Thank you for the effort put into this!! Plants and fungi are also living and sentient beings with utility outside their relationships to humans. They deserve the same respect other-than human animals do. With due respect, veganism ignores this. This understanding needs to be part of our transformation of consciousness, imo. Humans are not apex predators but we are definitely predators. And veganism seems to me to be a form of speciesism in that there is a bias toward caring for *some* animal species but not *all* living beings. There is not only animal intelligence.... there is plant and fungi intelligence, as well. Plants and fungi can suffer, as well, as sentient beings. The idea that we will save more plants by eating them instead of allowing animals to eat them and eating the animals is a fundamentally illogical argument... the ecosystems in which these animals live will have a carrying capacity and we shouldn't house more animals on an area of land than can be sustained by that area of land. This could be taking care of by eliminating cafos and adopting, instead, a sustainable hunting and small regenerative farming MO in its place. Another thing we can do to save the ecosystems in which we live is to learn our way out of the belief in "invasive species", which are not an ecological reality. It's so frustrating to hear you discuss the problems with speciesism and then promote veganism. There is not a blanket improvement in all people who forgo eating meat... all bodies have slightly different needs... for instance, there is research strongly suggesting the need for certain meats in the diet of a person with "ADD". Still, I very much appreciate your work and perspective.

Make a video about ecofeminism! :)

Plastic straws?

👍

I am mechanical engineer, a ecologist and minimalist...and I think the best solution to this problem is to boycott them - avoid to work for companies that doesn't bring real value to the world, avoid to buy products made by them or to use services that they offer...some day..hopefully they will shut out the light. We are many than them..we have the power! Do not forget that we are "the market". I am looking to work for a company that help, not damage the world. I would rather love to build a garbage sorting machine than working for a premium car company - except Tesla :))

I highly recommend looking into Social Ecology for an alternative concept of how humanity can live in harmonization with ecological systems and better fix the social relations between people. Google Murray Bookchin for more info.

Oh and seriously, who downvotes this video? Has to be bots. I can't even imagine how damaged someone has to be that downvotes someone who posts a message like the one in this video.

I want to study deep ecology and it is really satisfied me

How do you get from intrinsic value of component of nature to the intrinsic value of nature? If nature is a complex entity then it is more than sum of parts, and the particular parts are not even necessary for the whole: It can be a different whole as it changes its parts. Isn't the intrinsic value of nature, its radical instability and its purposeless development, a negative value to be repudiated by a living system seeking stability and creating purpose from available energy by working against environment? Environmentalism seems to push a story of causality in which humans are a main cause of planetary evolution. However, we did not create ourselves: Humans came from nature. It seems that environmentalism is a variation on a creation myth that can only be powerful by omitting the necessary destruction. What could prevent nature from destroying itself by its ordinary processes of evolution without exogenous shock? We might be able to influence the development of nature for a while, but how can we believe that we can control it? How can we believe that we can live in harmony with nature? Is that an absurdist environmentalist joke? Briefly and sincerely LC

I really want to go vegan but it all depends on where you live, and how others survive. Most poc don't have the choice to go vegan and eat meat on the basis of survival. There's more to it but it's not cut and dry the way everhone else think it is. I love your vidoes though!! Im so glad I found it. Now I know exactly what I want to go to school for.

Just discovered Solarpunk and it's got me hyped. I recommend people check it out.

Yes I believe all animals have liberty which gives them rights to live a harassment free life seperate from humans ideas that they are in existence only for our needs (anthropocentric).

I’m a zoology major and I want to do research in ethology. I have a hard time understanding how going vegan helps the environment when so much of what livestock eat is inedible human byproduct and/or hay and rough grasses that people can’t eat or utilize. Wouldn’t turning everyone towards plant agriculture only increase the deforestation due to the lack of usable souls to plant in? Livestock utilize the fields that humans can’t grow plants in, however I don’t agree in there being only a few types of livestock used, as anything en mass seems to produce bad effects. What if we turn to alternative meats, such as bison and venison and other prey animals, since humans evolved from omnivorous predators? I want to do what is truly best for the environment but I was in agriculture for four years and there is just so much that it misunderstood by a lot of people.

You're so beautiful!

Just remember, being vegan allows meat eating and wearing leather and using other animal products (road kill is not exploitation, nor natural death). Arne Naess went a lot further with deep ecology. One particular philosopher (Collier I think) even promotes even rocks have their place. The problem is us, not the rest of nature, just us. Gaia doesn't need us but we need Gaia but as part of the biodiversity, the only part we know is capable of abstract thought, we have a ';right' to exist, but we should use our consciousness to blow the myth of our supremacy out of the watter.

animal agriculture is also really bad because of how many predators that farmers kill. the wolves were gone from yellowstone in the first place bc of cattle farmers!

ok shes super cute guys

Deep ecology is really based on the rejection of a specific, time related medieval philosophical contextualisation of how we treat animals. very Christian and very western European, in both instances. Nobody else, either before the medieval period in Western Europe, or until now in much of the rest of the world has even bothered to consider it an issue worthy of thought. The few vegan based movements in the world had largely not touched the nascent deep ecologists in the West, through the 1960s'. It is a conceit to demand that such values are universal, rather than the result of a totally free and consetted western middle class. Animals do not afford us or other animals the same consideration or status that deep ecology demands (uniquely) humans should afford all other living entities. Would a Mother bear consider the safety and fear of a human child, should she feel her own are endangered?

Most of the asian and African native cultures were 'deep ecology "

Who cares
