The Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (RCC) is an international, interdisciplinary center for research and education in environmental humanities located in Munich, Germany. It was founded in 2009 as a joint initiative of LMU Munich (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität) and the Deutsches Museum, and is generously supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The center is named after the American biologist, nature writer, and environmentalist Rachel Carson, whose accessible writing raised awareness worldwide about threats to the environment and human health. The Rachel Carson Center aims to advance research and discussion concerning the interaction between human agents and nature, and to strengthen the role of the humanities in current political and scientific debates about the environment. By bringing together scholars who work in various disciplines and national contexts, and communicating the results of their research, the RCC seeks to internationalize environmental humanities and to raise its profile as a globally significant and growing field.

Adaptation of Local Knowledge Societies and Systems to Global Change
Carson Fellow and Director of the Global Diversity Foundation Gary Martin examines the cultural implications of conservation designation (i.e. the system of preserving certain areas of land in national park, or related, structures from outside development). Martin explains how protected areas shape the livelihoods of those who live “next door”; he also considers the way that such structures impact both biological and cultural diversity. Gary Martin is an ethno-ecologist who focuses on the inextricable links between biological and cultural diversity and the role of communities in maintaining socio-ecological resilience. Since 1998, he has been a research fellow and lecturer at the School of Anthropology and Conservation at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK and in 2000 he founded the Global Diversity Foundation (GDF).
