Any such conservation would require time-critical interventions into both ecosystems and evolution itself, for these interventions would also require domains of risk and ethics that shatter normative understandings of conservation. Yet a line appears to have been drawn in the sand against such experimental conservation. Holding the line will retain conservation practices that are null and void against the extinction debt facing multitudes of species. Crossing the line would invoke scales of bioengineering that appear abhorrent to normative morality. This article explores the question of whether this line in the sand could, and should, be crossed through a detailed case study of current and proposed conservation for endangered Chelonia mydas sea turtles on Raine Island, a small coral cay on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Chelonia mydas and Raine Island are presented as synecdoche for conservation across diverse species across the world because turtles are among the most endangered of all reptiles and Raine Island is the largest and most important rookery in the world for this species. With such lines disappearing under the rising seas, the article contemplates the unthinkable questions that our current situation demands we ask, and perhaps even try to answer.","PeriodicalId":41491,"journal":{"name":"Queensland Review","volume":"28 1","pages":"169 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49383061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Until relatively recently, these reef and rainforest ecologies were icons of a rich natural and cultural heritage that has brought pride to Queensland and to the nation at large, while our First Nations communities can celebrate relationships to northern reefs and rainforests that span at least 60,000 years. The ancient Gondwana rainforests of the Wet Tropics match the biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef, with both having been recognised for their ‘ outstanding universal value ’ in UNESCO World Heritage Listings. Stories have repeatedly celebrated their beauty and biodiversity, and their rich and complex associations with the local peoples and communities that live there. Yet those inspiring stories of the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforests have now taken a dire turn as the emergence of severe threats to the health of both ecosystems threatens death and demise. The damage caused by mass coral bleaching events, acidi ﬁ cation and super-cyclones is paralleled by deforestation, ﬁ re and species extinctions within the rainforests. Rising land and sea temperatures are proving to be ecologically devastating for both these wondrous ecosystems and equally grim in their associated social, cultural and political rami ﬁ cations. Yet we editors have been pleased to observe that the contributors to this special edition have still been able to ﬁ nd some sources of inspiration and hope within these calamitous outlooks.

If the Anthropocene had a colour table, bleached coral would hold an especially recognizable place within it. By some lights, chromatic behaviour — and chromatic disaster — are best apprehended as secondary qualities, as spectacles that offer to point the discerning observer beyond the tokens of human sense and toward an object’s (or ecosystem’s) essential properties. This article asks whether it is possible, and ethically viable, to recognise corallian colour practice as having meaning in and of itself. I argue that we should recognise coral colourism as the irreducibly relational comportment of species, sunlight, salt water, sediment and so on. Contrary to some influential views, the Reef’s performances are not simply constructed by the fantasies of human spectators, but by stimulating human sensoria, they do hail us as participants in the chromatic field. Reckoning the loss of hue as a discrete catastrophe might therefore generate tools for articulating value in a manner that is not strictly constructivist, naively scientistic or reactionarily idealistic. Caring for the Reef may be, not first of all but not least of all, a caring for colour — a caring against chromatic disappearance and a caring towards chromatic repair.","PeriodicalId":41491,"journal":{"name":"Queensland Review","volume":"28 1","pages":"82 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41840320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
