Today, there is growing interest in conservation and
anthropologists have an important role to play in helping
conservation succeed for the sake of humanity and for the sake of
other species. Equally important, however, is the fact that we, as
the species that causes extinctions, have a moral responsibility to
those whose evolutionary unfolding and very future we threaten.
This volume is an examination of the relationship between
conservation and the social sciences, particularly anthropology. It
calls for increased collaboration between anthropologists,
conservationists and environmental scientists, and advocates for a
shift towards an environmentally focused perspective that embraces
not only cultural values and human rights, but also the intrinsic
value and rights to life of nonhuman species. This book
demonstrates that cultural and biological diversity are intimately
interlinked, and equally threatened by the industrialism that
endangers the planet's life-giving processes. The consideration of
ecological data, as well as an expansion of ethics that embraces
more than one species, is essential to a well-rounded understanding
of the connections between human behavior and environmental
wellbeing. This book gives students and researchers in
anthropology, conservation, environmental ethics and across the
social sciences an invaluable insight into how innovative and
intensive new interdisciplinary approaches, questions, ethics and
subject pools can close the gap between culture and conservation.
