The field of ecological research is shifting towards a more interdisciplinary and collaborative approach, incorporating techniques from artificial intelligence, geospatial mapping, and information design to better understand and address the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss. This is evident in the development of innovative platforms and tools that combine historical analysis, computational methods, and community engagement to visualize and address ecological issues. Noteworthy papers in this regard include The Living Library of Trees, which frames the arboretum as a system of shared agency, and Simulacra Naturae, which explores collective care through the entanglement of biological computation, material ecologies, and generative systems. These projects demonstrate a move towards more inclusive and empathetic approaches to ecological research, decentralizing human agency and opening new spaces for ethics and ecological attunement.
