Ethics for a Small Planet : A Communication Handbook on the Ethical and Theological Reasons for Protecting Biodiversity
Editorial Reviews
Review
"We cannot preserve biodiversity until we come to understand that, at its heart, this is not an economic, or a political, or a scientific challenge—it is a moral challenge, and this book is THE tool we have needed to grapple with that understanding."—Carl Pope, President, Sierra Club
Book Description
This handbook on the ethical and theological underpinnings of biodiversity conservation is meant to be a tool to open a broader conversation on the ethical considerations related to protecting species, habitat, and ecosystems. Featuring essays from a distinguished group of ethicists, theologians, environmental advocates and communications experts, the purpose of this publication is to help biodiversity spokespersons understand the ethical and religious frameworks in which biodiversity issues are discussed so that they can communicate more effectively with the public.
