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.
