摘要

这篇文章认为,殖民地斯里兰卡的咖啡和茶树种植者的利益塑造了野生动物保护政策的基础,而国家在其中只起到次要作用。他们破坏了高地的森林,是19世纪该岛生态变化的主要缔造者。他们的主要娱乐方式,狩猎,也塑造了他们对自然历史的参与。有些人本身就是博物学家;其他人将标本和观测数据提供给其他自然史专业的学生。他们为第一部游戏法进行游说,不是因为他们对自己在破坏野生动物中所扮演的角色感到懊悔(“忏悔屠夫”的论点),而是为了阻止农民争夺他们所寻找的物种,而这两个群体的行为已经使物种大量灭绝。种植园主通过狩猎和对自然历史的追求与自然接触,促使他们保护岛上仅存的野生动物。

British Planters and the Origins of Wildlife Conservation in Colonial Sri Lanka
This article argues that the interests of coffee and tea planters in colonial Sri Lanka shaped the foundations of wildlife conservation policies, in which the state only played a secondary role. By destroying the forests of the highlands, they were the principal architects of ecological change on the island in the nineteenth century. Their principal mode of recreation, hunting, also shaped their engagement with natural history. Some were naturalists in their own right; others funneled specimens and observational data to other students of natural history. They lobbied for the first game laws, not through remorse for their own role in the destruction of wildlife (the “penitent butchers” thesis) but to keep the peasantry from competing for the species that they sought, which had been decimated by the actions of both groups. The way planters engaged with nature, through hunting and the pursuit of natural history, motivated them to preserve what was left of the island's wild fauna.
