In a processual and transformative perspective, the issue keep in mind the challenge of American anthropologist Anna Tsing to “take threats to livability very seriously”, focusing the ethnographic attention about “the risorgence of livability more-than-human” in the late-industrialism landscape of Gela. A multispecies risorgence which sign the movement from the ecology of industrial plantations (agricultural and fossil) of Sixty-Seventy years, to a multispecies ecology in the Ninety- Twenty thousand years, oriented beyond the conservation of biodiversity, through an innovative agroecological production. This socioecological deep transformation began with the re-ownership of late-industrialist landscape, through the increment of biodiversity produced by the stagional arrive white storks in past decade, and through the ecological-political engagement of environmental local actvists, with the conservative and agroecological project “Geloi Wetland”. The issue show how the growth of biodiversity, the experiences and projects of nature conservation in landscape of Gela, are the product to stand out of multispecies sociality sustained by ecological-politic projects which clashing the “ecology of proliferation [that] kill the lively beings which are not recognize as resources [that] promotes illness and pollution”. By a transformative anthropology, the engagement to “take threats to livability very seriously” it has been translate in a ontological transformation of anthropological lens in a multispecies sense, including beyond the anthropogenic human mark also the ecology of more-than-human relationships.
Keywords: Gela, industrial plantations, environmentalism, multispecies ethnography, more-than-human livability.
