Titre : The fall of the wild: extinction, de-extinction, and the ethics of conservation Type de document : livre Auteurs : Ben A. Minteer, Auteur Editeur : New York : Columbia University Press Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 183 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-231-17778-8 Prix : 28.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity Nature conservation Wildlife Ethics Environmental Protection Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The passenger pigeon, the great auk, the Tasmanian tiger—the memory of these vanished species haunts the fight against extinction. Seeking to save other creatures from their fate in an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, wildlife advocates have become captivated by a narrative of heroic conservation efforts. A range of technological and policy strategies, from the traditional, such as regulations and refuges, to the novel—the scientific wizardry of genetic engineering and synthetic biology—seemingly promise solutions to the extinction crisis.
In The Fall of the Wild, Ben A. Minteer calls for reflection on the ethical dilemmas of species loss and recovery in an increasingly human-driven world. He asks an unsettling but necessary question: Might our well-meaning efforts to save and restore wildlife pose a threat to the ideal of preserving a world that isn’t completely under the human thumb? Minteer probes the tension between our impulse to do whatever it takes and the risk of pursuing strategies that undermine our broader commitment to the preservation of wildness. From collecting wildlife specimens for museums and the wilderness aspirations of zoos to visions of “assisted colonization” of new habitats and high-tech attempts to revive long-extinct species, he explores the scientific and ethical concerns vexing conservation today. The Fall of the Wild is a nuanced treatment of the deeper moral issues underpinning the quest to save species on the brink of extinction and an accessible intervention in debates over the principles and practice of nature conservation.En ligne : http://cup.columbia.edu/book/the-fall-of-the-wild/9780231177788 The fall of the wild: extinction, de-extinction, and the ethics of conservation [livre] / Ben A.

Titre : Time and the land: four approaches to environmental ethics, climate change, and future generations Type de document : livre Auteurs : Brendan Myers, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Gatineau, Québec, Canada : Northwest Passage Books Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 406 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-9920059-2-4 Prix : 25.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Philosophy Ethics Environmental policies Theory Value systems Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : What is the ethical significance of the environment? How shall we dwell on, and with, the earth? And what, if anything, do we owe to future generations? “Time and the Land” pursues these questions through each of the four most prominent theories of ethics in the western philosophical tradition: Utilitarianism, Distributive Justice, Kantian Deontology, and Virtue Ethics. Myers concludes that no single theory by itself can accomplish this task. A synthesis of ethics is required: but Virtue must lead the way. Myers concludes that the aim for a worthwhile human life must include the aim to create and sustain the environmental conditions in which the worthwhile human life is possible and supported.

Editeur : San Diego, California : Cognella Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 464 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-5165-2403-7 Prix : 159.95 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fishery management Wildlife management Ethics Habitat Threatened species Decision making Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : Principles for Management of Fisheries and Wildlife: The Manager as Decision-maker is a unique introductory text that explains critical theories and principles of management and how to apply these successfully to real-world fisheries and wildlife situations and issues. Readers learn about management paradigms, decision-making frameworks and skills, planning for success, and ethics – all taught in the context of fisheries and wildlife issues such as habitat management, human-wildlife conflict, managing over-abundant and at-risk species, and harvest regulations.
Each chapter includes guiding outcomes, terms and definitions and critical thinking questions. Opening problems and closing case studies provide opportunities for application of both ecological and management knowledge and skills. Readers also benefit from learning about international models of wildlife management.
Rooted in the belief that biological and ecological knowledge can only be enhanced by sound management, planning, and decision-making skills, the book prepares biologists to be successful managers and leaders. Principles for Management of Fisheries and Wildlife is an outstanding textbook for introductory courses in the discipline.En ligne : https://titles.cognella.com/principles-for-management-of-fisheries-and-wildlife- [...] Principles for management of fisheries and wildlife: the manager as decision-maker [livre] / Larkin A.
