Moving Animals: A History of Science, Media and Policy in the Twentieth Century

    Project: NWO project

    Project Details

    Description

    The twentieth century witnessed important changes in the ways undomesticated animals moved (and were being moved) across the earth. Think of invasions of alien species and reintroductions of locally extinct ones, the disturbance of migratory routes and large-scale trade in zoo animals. The project ''Moving Animals'' analyses how humans have studied, represented and managed these movements.

    Description

    In de twintigste eeuw vonden er radicale veranderingen plaats in de manier waarop wilde dieren zich over de wereld verplaatsten (en verplaatst werden). Denk aan invasies van ‘exoten’, herintroducties van bedreigde soorten, de verstoring van migratieroutes en grootschalige handel in zoo-dieren. Het project ‘Moving Animals’ analyseert hoe mensen deze bewegingen hebben bestudeerd, weergegeven en gestuurd.
