2/2 Contrasting the perspectives of @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social, the UK Government, and the MPs on the representation and agency of #swifts Had a critical mass of conservationists begun using these arguments, policymakers would have needed to engage with them, too.

5/5 The campaign focused on moving from the consumptive use of birds towards the appreciation of the birds' rights to live in the wild and for people to develop meaningful relationships with them. It emphasised relational values on top of intrinsic and instrumental ones.

4/5 The @rspb.bsky.social campaign and the broader debate on feather fashions exemplify early attempts to shape people's relationship with birds.

3/5 This study is based on an analysis of around 200 leaflets, reports, academic and popular science articles, letters and other documents, mostly associated with the @rspb.bsky.social, covering three decades from 1889 to 1921.

2/5 The campaign against feather fashions was instrumental in creating the @rspb.bsky.social and an important issue for other conservation organisations.

It is really good to check historical case studies, too! Like the 19th century feather fashions. The campaign to eliminate the feather trade by the early @rspb.bsky.social and others was eventually successful and driven by 5 key arguments, most imporantly relational values: doi.org/10.1002/pan3...

Jakub Kronenberg @jakubkronenberg.bsky.social · 12/11/2025
I explored the story of the @rspb.bsky.social campaign against feather fashions in detail doi.org/10.1002/pan3... Feather fashions involved using not only feathers but also wings, skins, heads and whole bodies. And they were not limited to egret feathers, but involved all species of birds!

Broadening the debate on nature-based solutions and biodiversity net gain to cover non-biological components and nonhuman interests would help to make human-built infrastructure less detrimental to nonhuman beings.

Jakub Kronenberg @jakubkronenberg.bsky.social · 25/08/2025
Broader exposure to arguments regarding nature’s representation and agency, particularly those rooted in non-Western and non-anthropocentric worldviews and value systems, might increase the opportunities to include them in political debates.

Jakub Kronenberg @jakubkronenberg.bsky.social · 25/08/2025
Although the debate was initiated by an activist-conservationist @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social who figuratively gave voice to #swifts, when confronted with formal politics, the questions of representation and agency of swifts moved to the background.

Nonhuman interests and politics We analysed the debate on mandating #swiftbricks in the UK through the lens of #multispecies justice: #TheFeatherSpeech by @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social, the Government's response, and the parliamentary debate. Debate dominated by human perspectives on sharing space

New paper on #degrowth, #cities and #nature responds to the critique of #neoliberal governance of urban green spaces by suggesting on how to govern them in a socially just and environmentally conscious way. Calls for an emancipatory, intersectional and relational approach. doi.org/10.1016/j.ci...
Reflecting the neoliberal model's framing of the world as economic relationships, the paper discusses urban greening in terms of production and consumption, supplemented by an overview of what this means for human–non-human relationships.
