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...

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!

My review of 'Nature needs you' by @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social has just been published in Environmental Values. While the #TheFeatherSpeech campaign on #swiftbricks remains at a stalemate, you can read here why I consider Hannah's book so important. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

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
