Abstract des Autors
This chapter sets out to examine the intersection of social media, outdoor adventurers, and environmental activism. Specifically, questions around who these adventuring environmental activists are, and what they do as part of their mission, will be addressed. We will also search for traces of sportification in the narratives of these influencers, enabling a discussion of whether environmental activism in outdoor adventuring includes references to specialisation, rationalisation, standardisation, regimentation, organisation, equalisation, and quantification. The chapter finishes with a discussion on the problems and complexities associated with this emerging genre of pro-environmental action.
