Anthropocentrism, in its original connotation environmental ethics, is the belief that value human-centred and all other beings are means to human ends. Environmentally -concerned authors have argued anthropocentrism ethically wrong at root of ecological crises. Some ethicists argue, however, critics misguided or even misanthropic. They contend: first criticism can be counterproductive misleading by failing distinguish between legitimate illegitimate interests. Second, humans differ greatly...
Two generations of conservationists and philosophers have built a strong case for intrinsic values in nature; they are the basis normative postulates conservation biology. I argue that recognition natural value is fundamental non-negotiable aspect an eco-evolutionary worldview. Recently, relational values, “preferences, principles, virtues associated with relationships”, been proposed as third category nature, which may help to resolve debate between instrumental valuation. By depicting part...
Abstract Over the past 5 decades, scientists have been documenting negative anthropogenic environmental change, expressing increasing alarm, and urging dramatic socioecological transformation in response. A host of international meetings held, but erosion biological diversity continues to accelerate. Why, then, has no effective political action taken? We contend that part answer may lie anthropocentric ethical premises moral rhetoric typically deployed cause conservation. further argue it is...
Justice for nature remains a confused term. In recent decades justice has predominantly been limited to humanity, with strong focus on social justice, and its spin-off – environmental people. We first examine the formal rationale ecocentrism ecological ethics, as this underpins attitudes towards nature, show how affected by concerns about dualisms anthropocentric bias. next consider traditional meaning of alongside move some scholars push into effectively weakening any place ecojustice...
The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has become influential in biodiversity conservation. Its research is published widely been adopted by the United Nations Convention for Biological Diversity. This platform includes discussion about how values relate to IPBES emphasizes "relational values", connecting these with living a "good life," "nature's contributions people" (NCP); building upon ecosystem services (ES), which have dominated...
The unfolding crises of mass extinction and climate change call for urgent action in response. To limit biodiversity losses avert the worst effects disruption, we must greatly expand nature protection while simultaneously downsizing transforming human systems. conservation initiative Nature Needs Half (or Earth), calling half Earth's land seas, is commensurate with enormous challenges face. Critics have objected to this as harboring hardship people near protected areas failing confront...
Maintaining peace and conserving biodiversity hinge on an international system of cooperation codified in institutions, but Russia’s invasion Ukraine brings recent progress to a crossroads. Against this backdrop, we address some implications for the governance conservation both within beyond Russia. The Russian threatens conservation, as it pertains Russia beyond, due three interacting factors: (i) isolation from system, (ii) halt delay cooperation, (iii) changes domestic policy priorities....
Anthropocentrism in Western (modern industrial) society is dominant, goes back hundreds of years, and can rightly be called ‘hubris’. It removes almost all moral standing from the nonhuman world, seeing it purely as a resource. Here, we discuss troubling components anthropocentrism: worldview ethics; dualisms, valuation values; psychology fear denial; idea philosophical ‘ownership’. We also question whether truly practical (or ethical) approach. then three examples anthropocentrism...
We examined the effects of water velocity on prey detection and capture by drift-feeding juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) steelhead (sea-run rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) in laboratory experiments. used repeated-measures analysis variance to test velocity, species, × species interaction probability, distance, swimming speeds during capture. 3D video assess spatial temporal characteristics Coho showed significant, velocity-dependent decreases probability (~65% 10%,...
ABSTRACT Relatively little is known about the downstream migration of landlocked stocks Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. smolts, as earlier studies have generally focused on upstream migration. However, in watersheds with many hydroelectric plants (HEPs), multiplicative loss downstream‐migrating smolts can be high, contributing to population declines or extirpations. Here we report results from a study wild River Klarälven. Salmon tagged acoustic transmitters, were released at different...

Abstract Cross‐boundary fluxes of organisms and matter, termed “subsidies,” are now recognized to be reciprocal roughly equal importance for both aquatic terrestrial systems, even if input ecosystems has received most attention. The magnitude aquatic‐to‐terrestrial subsidies is well documented, but the drivers behind these their utilization by consumers characteristically local‐scale studies, limiting inferences that can drawn broader geographic scales. We therefore built analyzed a database...
Abstract Globally, ecosystems have suffered from anthropogenic stressors as we enter the sixth mass extinction within Anthropocene. In response, UN has declared 2020–2030 Decade for Ecosystem Restoration, aiming to mitigate ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. Freshwater are disproportionately impacted relative marine or terrestrial systems ecological restoration is needed preserve services. Paradoxically, freshwater among Earth's most vital Here identify meaningful considerations a...
Insect decline, i.e. the rapid loss of insect biodiversity and species abundance, is an imminent crisis that mirrors global biological annihilation. Conservation scientists have therefore called for effective public education on how to mitigate decline. In this paper, we develop framework "Action Competence (ACIC)" as a tool improving citizen action conservation. The ACIC educational peoples' abilities take actions sustain biodiversity, connecting conservation science with social science....
We highlight the need for ecological justice and ethics to go hand in with social conservation science. focus on importance of ecocentric (non-anthropocentric) worldviews advancing both justice. While acknowledging "decolonize" conservation, we question whether a whole may be justifiably termed "colonial"; noting that colonialism name profit political power has long been main driver human rights abuses biodiversity loss. Moreover, modern science explicitly strives equity while protecting...
Surface ice in rivers and lakes buffers the thermal environment provides overhead cover, protecting aquatic animals from terrestrial predators. We tested if surface influenced behavior (swimming activity, aggressive encounters, number of food items eaten) stress level (coloration eyes body) stream-living brown trout Salmo trutta at temperatures 3–4 °C indoor experimental flumes. hypothesized that an individual's resting metabolic rate (RMR, as measured by ventilation rate) would affect...
Abstract Conservation of migratory salmonids requires understanding their ecology at multiple scales, combined with assessing anthropogenic impacts. We present a case‐study from over 100 years data for the endemic landlocked Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar , Salmonidae) and brown trout trutta in Lake Vänern, Sweden. use this to develop life history‐based research monitoring priorities salmonids. In small wild populations remain only heavily regulated Rivers Klar (Klarälven) Gullspång...
Abstract To improve understanding of the mechanisms affecting growth and survival, we evaluated summer diets feeding patterns (prey composition, energy density, stomach fullness) hatchery wild juvenile pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha in Prince William Sound (PWS) northern coastal Gulf Alaska (CGOA). Our study (1999‐2004) included 2 years low (∼3%), mid (∼5%), high (∼8‐9%) survival PWS salmon. Because variations diet should affect ultimately expected that diet, growth, would be correlated....
