BAQUEDANO JER, Sandra. CONSERVATION IN SPECIESISM AGES. Luna Azul [online]. 2015, n.41, pp.240-253. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2015.41.13.

The cumulative scope of human action, combined with the techno-scientific power nowadays take our species not only to question the limits of the Earth capacity to assimilate and recycle the waste products of human activities, but also the limits of speciesism within the weave of existence. It has not been the exception but rather the rule, that our species has constantly increased its population, overusing the environment and ruining a development that deteriorates the environment increasingly. Human beings have written the history of humanity in a speciesist form, extolling their historic role which has made work against the ecological being. However, isolated and fragile truces between human and nonhuman animals allow questioning the meaning and philosophical significance of conservationism in an age of the crudest speciesism.

Palavras-chave : Conservation; speciesism; responsability; biodiversity; environmental damage; sustainability; natural resource use.
