Which work examines how militarization shapes landscapes and argues that military spaces can be sites of environmental destruction and ecological restoration?

• A. Schon, F., Dominguez, A., and M. Archkar. Urban Wetlands, their dynamics and management strategies from the perspective of Environmental Geography.
• B. Dryzek, J. S. The Politics of the Earth
• C. Havlick, David G. Bombs away: Militarization, conservation, and ecological restoration
• D. Carson, Rachel. Silent Spring

Answer: (C)

Militarization reshapes landscapes by turning training areas, bases, and test sites into new land uses, changing ecosystems, hydrology, and how people access those spaces. This process can cause environmental destruction through pollution, habitat loss, and disruption of ecological processes, but it can also create openings for ecological restoration when military lands are managed with conservation goals or rehabilitated after use. David G. Havlick's Bombs Away: Militarization, Conservation, and Ecological Restoration centers exactly on this dynamic, arguing that military spaces can be both sites of environmental harm and platforms for restoration, as conservation practices and ecological projects arise within or alongside defense activities. The other works mentioned focus on urban wetlands in a broader environmental geography context, general environmental politics, or pesticide-driven ecological impacts, rather than examining how militarization specifically shapes landscapes and the potential for ecological restoration within that framework.
