环保人士、政府和企业都看到了数字技术的前景，它们可以提供全面、快速和客观的信息，为政策制定、投资塑造和生态系统监测提供信息。但越来越明显的是，环境数据不仅仅是提供一个更好的地球视图。本期特刊提出了一个重要观点：如果不了解构成环境数据基础设施的平台、设备和机构，我们就无法充分理解当前全球环境治理的形势。这些论文汇集了政治生态学和科学技术研究的学术成果，以证明数据如何成为当代环境政治开展和社会特性具体化的重要场所。我们解决：(1)利用和维护数据基础设施的有争议的做法；(2)它们的治理方式及其所能实现的领土治国方略；(3)社会自然物质性，它们产生于其中，同时也产生于其中。本期特刊中的论文表明，与占主导地位的代表相反，数据是物质的、受治理的、被实践的，并且需要实践。政治生态学家可以采用这样的方法来理解数据技术塑造环境及其政治的新兴方式。
Conservationists, governments, and corporations see promise in digital technologies to provide holistic, rapid, and objective information to inform policy, shape investments, and monitor ecosystems. But it is increasingly clear that environmental data does more than simply offer a better view of the planet. This special issue makes a single overarching argument: that we cannot fully understand the current conjuncture in global environmental governance without understanding the platforms, devices, and institutions that comprise environmental data infrastructures. The papers draw together scholarship from political ecology and science and technology studies to demonstrate how data has become a significant site in which contemporary environmental politics are waged and socionatures are materialized. We address: (1) the contested practices of utilizing and maintaining data infrastructures; (2) the ways they are governed and the territorial statecraft they enable; (3) the socionatural materiality they arise within but also produce. The papers in this special issue show that, against its dominant representation, data is material, governed, practiced, and requires praxis. Political ecologists could adopt such an approach to make sense of the emerging ways in which data technologies shape environments and their politics.
