Abstract

This chapter considers the relationship between landscape and extinction. Specifically, it argues for bringing landscape studies (and theories) into conversation with humanities research on extinction in three key areas. Firstly, concern with landscape’s ‘visuality’ emphasises how engagements with extinction manifest and mobilise normative ‘ways of seeing’ our surroundings; with implications for how such landscapes are planned, encountered, and thought of. Secondly, reflecting on the phenomenology of landscape captures how extinction processes contribute to (or diminish) specific landscape experiences and possibilities. Finally, considering the relationship between time, landscape, and extinction facilitates reflections upon the ‘temporality’ of the landscapes amidst our arrival into the Anthropocene. Thus, the chapter underlines the pursuance of work in these registers as central to an agenda for landscape and planning research seeking to respond to the challenge of extinction and ground ecological crisis in everyday, lived scenes of land and life.
