Shifting baselines


The reading “shifting baseline” was very informative and it helped understand the different ways people perceive nature around them. It was interesting to read that “shifting baseline syndrome” causes the loss of knowledge regarding the state of the natural world, because people don’t notice the changes in nature. For me this part of the reading was eye opening because it made me realize that there is a lot of people that are victims of this syndrome. Therefore it also makes me think if our natural world could be better if people were aware of the current natural changes? Would people care more and have a better understanding of the environment?
