New Conservation Science is Misguided and Too Much About Us
By Marc Bekoff Ph.D. on February 21, 2015 in Animal Emotions
New Conservation Science argues conservation should focus on human self-interests. It is wrong-minded and ignores the magnificence of nature including the fact that animals and diverse ecosystems have intrinsic value and should be valued for who and what they are, not for what they can do for us. There are far too many of us and it shouldn’t be all about us.

Reblogged this on Rocking the Suburbs and commented:
It’s not just about us. Saving the planet and all her inhabitants is important because animals and the earth have value on their own…
… Being in the field of conservation, this is a factor of management I think about often… Going into this area of study, is an eye opener into a world of politics and the management of “game animals” for human needs and money. I cringe at the terms, “game animals and “harvest” when referring to living species.
