"Huemul National Corridor"

The huemul is one of two species of native deer found only in the Patagonian forests of Argentina and Chile. But habitat degradation has reduced the huemul to less than 1% of its original population, according to ministry data.

Forests do more for the climate than store and sequester carbon.

For example, they:

regulate rainfall

provide cooling benefits

protect coastal areas

provide forest products for local communities facing climatic threats

France to set aside 10 per cent of its territory for biodiversity protection

On Monday, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne unveiled a new 2030 Biodiversity Strategy under which France will put 10 per cent of its territory under “robust protection” to halt the gradual destruction of plant and animal life, Euractiv reports.

The strategy, which has been awaited for two years, includes a number of measures to protect and restore natural terrestrial and marine areas. Borne announced:

The collapse of living things is an existential threat to our societies. To stem it and reverse the trend, we are adopting a national biodiversity strategy for 2030. Our ambition is clear: to anchor the ecological transition in everyday life.

The strategy builds on the EU’s 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, which calls for effective protection of 30 per cent of land and oceans, restoration of 30 per cent of degraded ecosystems and a 50 per cent reduction in pesticide use, and the Kunming-Montreal agreement reached at COP15 on biodiversity in December.

(source: associated press | 21 apr 2023)

The birth this week of an endangered seal at Hawaii’s most popular tourism hubs highlights the tension between protecting the islands’ fragile ecosystems and maintaining access to the pristine white-sand beaches that attract millions of visitors each year. Hawaii officials are expected to hold a news conference Thursday to remind beachgoers to stay away from the pup. Officials this week fenced off a large stretch of a popular Waikiki neighborhood to protect the Hawaiian monk seal pair. Last summer, a mother seal injured a tourist who got too close. There are fewer than 1,600 Hawaiian monk seals in the wild and it's a felony to disturb them.

Equity and Inequity in the Natural World: An Analysis

The natural world, characterized by its intrinsic beauty and complexity, presents a dichotomy of fairness and unfairness in its various mechanisms and processes. Here, we examine several aspects of this duality:

Equitable Aspects of Nature:

Ecosystem Equilibrium: Nature tends to uphold a state of equilibrium within ecosystems. Species, over time, adapt to their surroundings, and the intricate interplay between predators and prey functions as a regulatory force, averting overpopulation or extinction.

Natural Selection: Through the process of natural selection, organisms with traits best suited to their environments thrive and reproduce. This ensures the perpetuation of well-adapted species—a manifestation of the survival of the fittest.

Sustainable Resources: Many natural resources, such as sunlight, wind, and water, exhibit renewable qualities and are universally accessible. These resources remain uninfluenced by concepts of ownership or exclusivity.

Seasonal Variations: Seasonal fluctuations in climate and resource availability offer diverse species opportunities to flourish at distinct intervals, thereby upholding ecological diversity.

Inequitable Aspects of Nature:

Natural Catastrophes: Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires are capable of inflicting widespread devastation and loss of life without regard for fairness. These events are often perceived as inequitable due to their indiscriminate impact.

Genetic Disparities: Genetic mutations or congenital conditions may lead to disparities in health among individuals, resulting in unequal life prospects from the moment of birth.

Resource Scarcity: While certain resources are abundant, others, notably fresh water and arable land, exist in finite quantities. Competition for these resources can engender disparities in access.

Predation Dynamics: Predation, from the prey's perspective, appears unjust, given that it often culminates in suffering and fatality for one organism to sustain another.

Disease and Parasitism: The propagation of diseases and parasitic infestations can inflict suffering and death, seemingly arbitrarily affecting members within a population.

Climate Change: Climate change, largely driven by human activities, disproportionately affects vulnerable communities, rendering it inherently inequitable on a global scale.

Inherited Wealth or Territory: In certain instances, specific species inherit resources or territory by virtue of birth or other variables, yielding imbalances in access to essential resources.

It is pertinent to acknowledge that the notion of fairness within the natural world is often anthropomorphic, as nature operates devoid of moral adjudication. What may be perceived as inequitable by humans frequently arises from natural processes. Nevertheless, recognizing these facets can serve as a catalyst for human endeavors to mitigate inequity, advocate for conservation, and champion sustainability.
