Unit 5: Social Media and Nature Interpretation

Hi readers!

In today’s day in age, we are surrounded by social media. When exploring nature, we often feel inclined to take a picture and share it with others. Our photographs capture the beauty of nature. Photography can be a form of artistry. This week, I wanted to investigate how social media has impacted nature interpretation. Has it made the industry too saturated? Or is it allowing interpreters to expand their audience? 

https://thenounproject.com/photo/group-of-young-people-hiking-in-nature-and-looking-at-cell-phone-47Xxab/

I figured there is no better way to approach this than a good old pros and cons list. With the help of Facets’, Evaluating the Benefits and Risks of Social Media for Wildlife Conservation, I will make a list that is applicable to nature interpretation. 

First, the cons. 

As we know, social media dictates a lot of what we do. Platforms like Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube, etc.. all have the potential to reach a wide audience. It has been seen time and time again where places gain traction due to viral posts online. However, this can potentially be harmful to the conservation of the landscape. Greater traction is amazing in the eyes of education. But larger groups can potentially lead to; damaged habitats from foot and vehicle traffic, wildlife interruption and larger amounts of littering and pollution, which impact the native plant and animal species.

Also, social media has potential to distract from the interpretation’s true intention. Many have become obsessed with the idea of getting the perfect picture or going viral. Environmental interpretation tells a story. Whether it be about conservation, appreciating the beauty in nature, creating personal connections and improving well-being, science in nature, or acknowledging indigenous culture, interpretation is done with planned intention. However, this meaning can be lost as people are too distracted in getting the perfect picture that matches their aesthetically pleasing feed.

As there are negatives, there are also so many benefits to the use of social media in interpretation. 

Likewise, the world is at our fingertips. If you want to reach a large audience, there is no better place than the internet to do it. This is beneficial in environmental interpretation as there is greater awareness. People from all over can be not only further educated on an array of topics, but they can learn about places out of their geographic reach. For example, I am from Canada, but I love keeping up with Chris Burkard’s Instagram as he travels the globe. Social media has allowed him to use his voice and share his photography with almost 4 million followers.

Additionally, with the rise of bandwagons, social media can be utilised in nature and wildlife preservation. An interpreter can spread awareness through various social media platforms. Social media allows people to come together and take action. An example of this is the #OceanCleanup project. People from all over are joining this trend to remove plastic and debris from the ocean. To protect the ecosystem, and allow us to interpret and appreciate the ocean for years to come. 

Overall, social media in interpretation is a tool that should be used for the greater good. I think it is good to be used in moderation. If visiting a popular place, maybe try researching the impacts of tourism on the environment and indigenous people first. There could be even better options out there that won’t destroy natural landscapes. Moreover, taking photos is an awesome way to express the beauty of nature through art, but should be done within the right context. 

Nonetheless, I am not against the use of social media and nature interpretation. This blog is a form of social media!

I would love to hear others’ opinions on this matter.

Do you think social media is good for nature interpreting?

I'm still angry about the oceancleanup post. Stop all falling for it. Be better than that. I'm begging you.

Nem tom, nem vagyok mikrobiológus, tippre tesztelni kell, de simán lehet h nem terjednek el [mittomén pl rövid az életciklusa pet kaja nélkül]. Mindenesetre bíztatóbbnak érzem mint pl az oceancleanup (?) meg a többi begyüjtő kezdeményezést, akiknek drukkolok, csak amikor büszkén hirdetik h kinn voltak egy hetet és majd tíz tonna hulladékot összegereblyéztek haleluja. Majd ezt egy szennyező teherhajón elszállítják és majd a földön lesz vele valami. Csak a great garbage patch-et 2 millió tonnára becsülik..

A Coca-Cola meg rohadjon meg, anno sikerült üvegben is árulniuk. A halászok szintén meg majd kenderből kötik és halásszák az amúgy 2050re összeomló halpopuláció maradékát.

Researchers have genetically engineered a marine microorganism to break down plastic in salt water. Specifically, the modified organism can break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a plastic used in everything from water bottles to clothing that is a significant contributor to microplastic pollution in oceans. "This is exciting because we need to address plastic pollution in marine environments," says Nathan Crook, corresponding author of a paper on the work and an assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at North Carolina State University. "One option is to pull the plastic out of the water and put it in a landfill, but that poses challenges of its own. It would be better if we could break these plastics down into products that can be re-used. For that to work, you need an inexpensive way to break the plastic down. Our work here is a big step in that direction." To address this challenge, the researchers worked with two species of bacteria. The first bacterium, Vibrio natriegens, thrives in saltwater and is remarkable—in part—because it reproduces very quickly. The second bacterium, Ideonella sakaiensis, is remarkable because it produces enzymes that allow it to break down PET and eat it.

The Ocean Cleanup Project Removes Over 100,000kg Of Plastic From Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The Ocean Cleanup project has removed over 100-thousand kilograms (220-thousand pounds) of plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). The Dutch nonprofit organization behind the largest ocean cleanup project in history has reached a monumental milestone. The Ocean Cleanup announced on Twitter that they had removed more than 100-thousand kilograms of plastic from the gyre of trash in the central North Pacific Ocean known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

The Ocean Cleanup was started in 2013 by then 18-year-old Dutch-born inventor-entrepreneur Boyan Slat with a goal of using technology to clean up the world’s waterways. After testing multiple versions of their ocean cleaning technology in the North Sea, the group set their sights on the GPGP in 2018. Slat says that it took them years to collect the first 8-thousand kilograms of plastic, but in the last few weeks they’ve been collecting that amount every four days.

The milestone is important because The Ocean Cleanup estimates that 100-thousand kilograms represents about one-one thousandths (1/1000 or 0.1%) of the total amount of trash in the GPGP. They believe the newest version of their tech will be able to collect that amount every month and if they can get ten of their machines out there cleaning up the Pacific ocean, they’ll be removing that much every few days. Of course, the problem will never go away as long as people are careless with their garbage, but for the first time ever, someone is making a significant dent in the existing problem.
