Abstract

This thesis looks at a prospective way of viewing ecological management and restoration through the lens of probiotic ecology: the science of studying and examining the relationships in probiotic management and using this knowledge to make changes in ecosystems and relationships with nature. Jamie Lorimer’s concept of ‘probiotic management’ is discussed, analysing the potential problems and ethical implications of such a practice. The thesis explores environmental ethical frameworks that can be attached to probiotic management, contending deep ecology as the most applicable framework to help deal with the ethical concerns.
