Published
2012-11-11

Abstract

What does wilderness mean in your language? Listen to words for “wilderness” and learn about their political and historical meanings in different regional contexts. “Wilderness Babel” is a collaboration with the Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of Zurich, edited by Marcus Hall and Wilko Graf von Hardenberg. Its international contributions are still growing.

Version 2, published in 2020, includes minor updates to the original 2013 virtual exhibition and applies the Environment & Society Portal’s responsive layout.
