Ecological Justice and the Extinction Crisis
In the media
On our blog: What is ecological justice, and why does it matter today?
ePDF and ePUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. As the biodiversity crisis deepens, Anna Wienhues sets out radical environmental thinking and action to respond to the threat of mass species extinction.
The book conceptualises large-scale injustice endangering non-humans, and signposts new approaches to the conservation of a shared planet. Developing principles of distributive ecological justice, it builds towards a bold vision of just conservation that can inform the work of policy makers and activists.
This is a timely, original and compelling investigation into ethics in the natural world during the Anthropocene, and a call for biocentric ecological justice before it is too late.
Anna Wienhues is a a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas of the University of Oslo. Her work focuses on environmental ethics and political theory.
