We, entangled humans and nonhumans, are at a critical point in managing environmental degradation, with human-induced environ-mental change occurring on a grand scale. Several environmental problems need urgent attention, including climate change, the sixth great extinction of plants and other animals, and increasing resource depletion in some of the most vulnerable places around the world. While humans can lessen the impacts of these events, much more damage will occur without action. To encourage people to act, the most significant challenge we must overcome is changing how we imagine and connect with the more-than-human world by moving away from the current consumption-based thinking to a more relational understanding of the human place within the environment. This is becoming increasingly important in Australia, where reminders of the impacts of human-induced climate change and environmental destruction were felt in the recent bushfire crisis, are evident in the record for the most mammal extinctions of any landmass over the last 30 years, and are revealed in the increase in more severe droughts, floods, and storms. All of us, human and nonhuman alike, must live with the impacts of these environmental events, although of course they are unevenly experienced as they are given shape by social dimensions such as gender, class, race, disability, age, sexuality, and geographic location, as well as the socio-ecological concepts applied to nonhumans, such as endemicity, consumption value, and perceived danger.
