Question: For this next source you will listen to a short podcast of several interviews on environmental history. Environmental History is a growing field of study that is providing us with important information on past cultures and environmental change (essential information we need to develop sustainability strategies). This link leads to the Environmental History Resources website. The podcast you want to access is from 2008 and is titled Podcast 19: Environmental histories of settlement in Canada and New Zealand. These are interviews of several authors that consider the concept of resources, environmental practices and European settlement. In the first interview, the author examines the impact of settlement on the New Zealand landscape. Pay particular attention to similarities between Maori settlement and European settlement. The second interview presents a Canadian researcher examining the sociological impact of a large forest fire in the Miramichi region of New Brunswick in the early 1800s. In this portion of the podcast, focus on the perception of the land and resources by the early settlers and how this changed over time.
For this perspective, review the links above and read the text on environmental degradation in early North American societies.
- What are your thoughts on environmental degradation and earlier societies?
- Can we find differences between these societies? Can we find similarities?
