Nature Conservation: The Influence of American Philosophies on Modern China

How have US American ideas about nature conservation influenced the
conception of nature in China? Carson Fellow Hou Shen bases her
research around the nature writings of three well-known American
writers—Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Rachel Carson—in
order to demonstrate how the idea of preserving nature for humans
and for other species has been interpreted and transformed in
Chinese culture. Hou Shen is currently an assistant professor at
the history department of the Renmin University of China in
Beijing. She explores the introduction, reception, and
transformation of American ideas of nature conservation and its
practices in China.
