Field Environmental Philosophy

This methodology comprises a cycle of four phases:

• Interdisciplinary ecological and philosophical research.

• Composition of metaphors and communication through simple narratives.

• Design of guided field activities with an ecological and ethical focus.

• Implementation of in situ conservation areas.

​

The approach has been adopted by postgraduate students at the Omora Biological Station, co-led by an ecologist and a conservation philosopher or biologist with a focus on arts or humanities, who interact with local communities, authorities, experts and ecotourism guides who then apply the knowledge and practices to their own activities.

​

Some of these activities include:

• Ecoturismo con lupa (Ecotourism with a hand lens)

• Cara a cara con los aves subantárticas (Face-to-face with sub-Antarctic birds)

• Bosques submarinos del Cabo de Hornos (The Underwater forests of Cape Horn)

• Experimentando en los jardines altoandinos de la región Sub-antártica (Experimenting in the High-Andean gardens of the sub-Antarctic region)

• Sumergidos con lupa (Underwater with a hand lens)
