From Conservation Magazine:

Struggling to survive in the twenty-first century, naturalists might take a page from their own playbook: evolve, adapt—and use technology to woo people back to nature.

Find a spot that is comfortable for you.
Keep the spot clean.
Think about the spot when you are away.

Walk from where you live to where your friend lives.
Be aware of the turns and the views while you walk.
Walk back the same way.
Be aware of the turns and the views your friend experiences
when he or she visits you.

Carry everything you own with you.
Go shopping, or climb a mountain.
See if you can see where you are going.

Imagine one day in a month
where only bicycles and walking
are allowed in the city as transportation.

Make that two days.
Make that a week.
Make that a month.

About:

The Society of Urban Naturalists {S.U.N.} is an international open collective of urban investigators dedicated to unravel the hidden relationships between nature, city and humanity.

Trough play, storytelling and conversations, S.U.N. deals with the same mysteries that natural and social sciences face in the urban ecosystems, engaging the audience in a reflexion about their place in the city.

Always looking for new methods and inventions to interrogate the city (and ourselves), sun has developed experimental toys using tokens found on-site and a set of rules to engage the public, protocols for observing human/nature interconnections and forms of creative observation that have made us aware of previously unrecognized forms of nature.

We aim to catalog and categorize our findings for contributing to the creation of a folksonomy that might help us think about, and react to our environments in a new way.

The first stage of the project evolved during the Interactivos?'10, Neighborhood Science at the Medialab-prado, thanks to Chirstina Krall, Carolina Gruffat, Ivonne Villamil and Héctor Cataño who built on a proposal by Emilio Zamudio.



La Sociedad de Naturalistas Urbanos {S.U.N.} es un colectivo internacional de investigadores urbanos dedicado a descubrir las relaciones ocultas entre naturaleza, ciudad y humanidad.

S.U.N. Se acerca a los mismos problemas que estudia la ciencia a través de las historias de los habitantes de la ciudad empleando diversos métodos y dispositivos inventados, ya sea para interactuar u observar las interacciones de los humanos con su ambiente urbano/natural.

Para este ciclo de investigaciones, la Sociedad eligió el Parque del Retiro como patio de juegos común y punto de partida. El parque es un híbrido por derecho propio, reuniendo los tres aspectos claves para la investigación y está convenientemente ubicado en las proximidades del Medialab Prado.

Los métodos y propuestas de la Sociedad abarcan la investigación a través de un tablero de juego usando formas simples encontradas en el lugar y un conjunto de reglas para involucrar a las personas del parque en una reflexión sobre las interconexiones naturaleza–ciudad–humanidad, un formato de investigación que mezcla la investigación detectivesca con la ficción real, y una concienzuda colección de híbridos encontrados haciendo nuevas asociaciones, catalogando y categorizando los hallazgos con la idea de contribuir a la folksonomía de una nueva naturaleza.
