Mammut is a biannual magazine dedicated to exploring all forms of creative production that have a relationship with nature, landscape and environmentalism—or what we call ecological aesthetics. Featuring scholarly investigations, reports on current discussions and debates, and artist’s projects, Mammut is a sourcebook for readers seeking to understand the intersection of art and nature.

We asked contributors to offer a personal perspective on megafauana and how they are represented, used as symbols, or offer a way to understand our own lives.
