The erosion of biodiversity is currently highly publicized.
Militant movements accuse humans of destroying nature and being
responsible for a sixth mass extinction. However, this
anxiety-provoking message is sometimes based on misconceptions,
false or partisan ideas, and media relays that favor and amplify
alarmist information. If the situation of certain populations is
worrying, it is not a general phenomenon because others are
expanding. Rather than holding a globalizing discourse, it is
necessary to recontextualize and relativize the debate to better
define the necessary actions.Biodiversity Erosion analyzes numerous
scientific publications, as well as alarming discussions,
emphasizing the multiple biases present in the way information is
presented. This book questions the relevance of the notion of
species and the desire to compile an inventory of all living
things. It argues for a less Manichean approach to our relationship
with nature.
