When the Japanese Scholar physicist-psychologist and decision theorist Masanao Toda in his landmark 1972 paper articulated the “need for a science of civilization” he was claiming that civilization was “not sick or diseased in any way," but “in danger”. Mainly due the “acceleration of social processes”. He hinted to “nuclear wars, overpopulation, famines, pollution” and to the differences between “the lives of my Japanese contemporaries with that of my great-grand-father”. (Toda )
Toda argued that human civilization was expanding at “a pace that far outstripped our understanding of its systemic risks, ultimately risking self-destruction unless a rigorous, predictive science of civilization was established.” (wikipedia Toda) 55 years later some of the - in fact - diseases have been analyzed, described and summarized. While with overpopulation suspects have arisen that the talk is deceptive at least because the civilization and, at least, leading countries are heavily taking profit thereof, climate change due to pollution with certain emissions has proven to have become an increasing problem with devastating consequences. In Rome 2027, 55 years after Toda’s call, for example the documented advances in rewilding areas thus contributing to the purposeful reduction and partial withdrawal of civilization from certain areas to reduce climate change provoking emissions could form a starting to assess Conservation directed Practice Science of Civilization. In July 27 in Rome at the 5X����World Congress this open panel investigates what progress and steps have been undertaken for that idea of Masanao Toda. The aim could be the foundation of a conservation orienteered practice science of civilization.(256 words)
