Abstract
Spontaneous vegetation which grows in the cracks and gaps of the Brussels-Capital Region lies at the heart of the social dynamics which its survival depends upon. The emotions it arouses, the knowledge surrounding it and the interests it may serve all shape the emergence of initiatives to protect it. A critical approach is proposed, with a perspective which aligns with a criminology of social reaction aimed at understanding how human beings respond (or not) to the destruction of biodiversity.
